Blood, sweat and tears!

[Sazarac]

Seeing the question about wounds and scars made me think...
Has anyone been physically wounded while doing a piece of artwork?  

[The Titanium Spork]

Yup.
Crow quills= shitloads of cuts and scars
X-acto knives = cuts and blood
Not to mention all the random paper cuts I get.  

[no surrender]

Lol. I rubbed my fingers raw on pastel paper. : P
I've also burned myself with glue and such. D:

I think I am pretty meticulous about my personal safety when I am using anything sharp or potentially dangerous... I think working in shop last year with the bandsaw scared the crap out of me, haha. I have gotten very sore and cramped wrists every time I have a final animation due though wink  

[keichaos]

While doing art, no, actually... Well, I guess, not yet... I've been really conscious of my hands...  

[squirrel17]

ummm, do paper cuts and callouses on your fingers count?

Well I was trying to be all artsy when I was like 16 ahaha and cut my name into a piece of wood [so shallow] while my dad was carving a mooncake mold.

Wasn't even trying to be safe. The wood chisel I was using slid and went straight into my palm [since one hand was holding the wood to stabilize it]. XD Now I have a lightning shaped scar there ahaha.

But otherwise no. No injuries.  

[FrozenVendetta]

I've stabbed myself countless times with x-acto knives, box cutters, even clay that's already been through the kiln at least once... I'm not very careful

I don't have a scar, but I bled pretty heavily after cutting my finger while carving linoleum for a printmaking project in art class a couple years ago. The instructor gave me a Hello Kitty band-aid. ^_^  

[Piovra]

yup, exacto knives, burning wood, glue guns, sharp pencils ect.  

[Driany]

Ah, when i started to paint with photoshop, i used mouse (i didn`t have a tablet...) and i had a LOT of pain in my hand (i got a tendinitis pretty nasty).

Then i decided to buy a tablet =3... (i remember that drawing, was this one http://driany.deviantart.com/art/criying-angel-6492663 ... the mmm 4th or some i made with photoshop.. 5 xDDD (OOOLD, i'm ooold hahahahaa)

That's all =3

[Karillis]

Lol all I can say is a lot of:

-Exacto knife cuts

-even manage to cut myself with tracing paper...

★I've had my share of hot glue gun accidents, and a "paper" cut on one of those metal rulers. I also once stapled my thumb while trying to fix a stapler.

So, yes. I've physically bled for art.
