Hand Drawing

Drawing with dominant hand:

 Drawing with opposite hand:

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

      It was weird because I couldn't really hold the paper and draw the details that I wanted to. It was also pretty interesting because its how I think my hand looks, or my eyes perceive my hands, when in reality they could look way different to someone else. 

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

     I chose pencil because I had a pencil handy and didn't feel like getting my hand all black from holding the charcoal. 

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

    This was the really weird part, I have decided I'm not very good with my non-dominate hand. It was soo hard to get the lines and the right shading with this hand. 

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

    Yes, they are successful studies, they are very different drawings and very detailed. I think the use of the non-dominant hand is unique because it looks like a little kid drew it. 

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

    I would consider using my non-dominant hand, because I like a challenge and I thought it was interesting to see if I was any good at using it to draw. It was very interesting to see my finished product.
