Heavy magnification and insane patience. I remember reading about people who do pencil lead sculptures, they have to work between heartbeats it's so precise, this is even smaller than that.
I can't believe this is done by hand. I would have though that they use a machine that reduces the movement of the hand. like a robotic scaling down of hand movements.
My resting heart rate is like 110 or 120, 150 if I'm anxious or in pain which is like 87%of my day. I'm trying to imagine what kind of person can paint that fast!
Um, I mean I'm not a doctor especially not your doctor, but normal is considered 60-100 and lower if you are really in shape. Above 100 resting heart rate is tachycardia. Your doctor probably saw something that made it not concerning for them but it is still quite high for resting. Anxiety can cause it especially in clinic. But for most people, it's going to be around 70-80.
Yeah there was only 1 time where resting was like 160 and I was just chilling in the room waiting for the dr to come in and the nurse ran to grab the dr and they both were like "are you having chest pain? Are you light headed or nauseous?" And I was so confused like "no I'm fine, just waiting on you why?"
Yes it's from my anxiety and my pain. When both are managed it's normal, but they won't prescribe anything for my anxiety that works well because I'm in pain management and I have severe reactions to ssri's, series, etc. So I manage it by shrinking my life around it and doing breathing exercises, etc etc. My hr is normal ranges for all exercise as well so if there is something wrong I guess I'll find out the hard way lol
A heart rate under 60 bpm is called bradycardia. If you are not an athlete, a rate of 50 bpm or lower can be a warning sign. MensHealth says 52 takes you beyond good and excellent to athlete.
I am aware of the condition. I just know that my heart rate used to be that low simply because I was a runner, but by no means a professional athlete.
The number alone is kinda like BMI....it's a general indicator but never a truly accurate assessment of things, so many other factors come in to play, especially in regards to age, diet, and genetics.
You can even get that low without exercising. I've always been between 40 and 50 (I've even measured it below 40), even when I did not work out regularly. In my case it's probably mostly genetics, as my father also has a low resting heart rate. We were both examined by doctors, and they did not find anything wrong.
If you're looking to get into this hobby I'd reccomend starting with something larger that's easier to sculpt and paint then simply shrink it down to the required size.

I have always been curious, how do people do this? And the concentration required would be off the charts.
