module 9 hand

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

I have done hand drawings before so it did not feel unfamiliar.

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

I chose pencil because charcoal is messy and smudges easily, that would’ve been an issue for my non-dominant hand.

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

It felt awkward to attempt to draw non-dominantly but I was able to control my lines more than I expected.

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

I think my dominant hand drawing is somewhat successful. My drawing with my non-dominant hand is just too loosely styled for my taste.

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

No. I did not like the results and it was frustrating and slow.
