Exploring Line: Hand Drawings

First off, I want to warn everyone that I'm probably one of the worst drawers in the history of history. I'm not very talented in that regards so be prepared to view the awfulness that is my "talent". I'm right-handed so you can probably tell which one was drawn with my right hand and which was done with the left.

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

   It was different, but something I've done before. Of course, when I first did this I was in high school and thought I was a lot better at it than I really am. 

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

   I chose pencil because it's a medium I'm much more comfortable with than charcoal. 

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

   To be honest, drawing with my left hand absolutely sucked. I felt like a five year old learned how to write. As you can tell, a five year old can probably draw what I did better. 

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

   If nothing else, it shows how much better I am with my right hand than my left.

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

   I can answer that with one word: NO!
