Give me a hand. Not that one, the other one.

Left hand
By yours truly

Right hand
By yours truly

1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?

The whole experience felt like doing a self portrait except it didn't involve drawing my face.

2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?

I used pencil on paper because I have never really worked with charcoal before ans so that was an easier and safer choice for me.

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?

It felt very awkward and unnatural. It took me at least three times as long to complete the drawing using my non-dominant hand.

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?

I think overall I did manage to create a workable drawing. I also think I managed to capture the lines on my hand

5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?

 Not really and only if I have to. It was just too cumbersome and time-consuming. I would use use my non-dominant hand if I was trying to get a different perspective on the same subject but that decision will have to wait until it is time to make it.
