1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was interesting. I felt like I should have done more shading but I could not make it look right no matter how many times I tried.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I used sketching pencils. I tried with charcoal but it smudged quite a bit.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
When drawing with my left hand, non-dominant hand it felt a bit uncomfortable at first. It was difficult to try to get smaller details with my non-dominant hand. But I felt the more I used it that it did get a little bit more comfortable.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
The drawing with my dominant hand I believe looks more realistic than the one drawn with my left hand. I thought the drawing with my left hand would have been a real disaster, but now that it is done it looks recognizable. I think it was a successful study, as it taught me that even though using my non-dominate hand is difficult, it could be useful sometimes.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
I would consider using it in small doses. I am not sure I would want to use it for an entire drawing unless it lacked detail.
