1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was difficult because hands are the hardest thing to draw for me. I always end up making the fingers too small or too short. Little things can make it look just a little bit off.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I used pencil because it wouldn't smudge and get all over my hands. (it's happened too many times)
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
Very strange, hands are already very difficult to draw, so having to do it with my non dominant hand just made it much harder. It's frustrating as well because I see it in my head coming out fine, but my non dominant hand shakes slightly when I draw/write so it's hard to get straight lines the way I want.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
I think they are. You can really see the difference in them from hand to hand unlike someone who's ambidextrous.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
I definitely would just for fun or to see how much I could improve with my non dominant hand if I started working with it for a few months. I think its also interesting to do drawings without picking your pencil up while using your non dominant hand.
