1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It seemed easier for me because I had a point of reference. It also made me notice things that I wouldn't normally notice, which interested me because my hand is attached to my body and I almost feel like I should be able to draw it without looking.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I chose pencil. I am not a very good drawer and I felt it would allow me to focus on the major details without getting caught up in all of the small ones... and by not very good drawer I actually mean completely incompetent in all artistic abilities.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
I was difficult at first but became easier after a while. I learned to work with the difficulty of using my non dominant hand instead of fighting it and trying to force it to work like my dominant hand does. It still looked horrible but I felt like my hand flowed better and was less mechanical and stiff with my non dominant hand.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
They look nothing like actual hands but they do resemble somewhat and you can tell which i did with my dominant and non dominant hand.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
If I was doing some sort of abstract painting yes. As far as technical drawings, probably not.
