My hands are a familiar subject matter for drawings. In high school I had an assignment where I had to draw 50 hands on one large sheet of paper. I chose pencil because charcoal is a little messy. Drawing with my non-dominant hand was a lot harder than I imagined. I could barely draw a straight line. The lines in the drawing of the left hand are more controlled and straighter. The drawing of my right hand has lighter lines because I couldn't apply as much pressure with my non-dominant hand. I tried to use the same approach while drawing both hands; using a bunch of straight lines to make up one curved line. I think they're both successful. I can't see myself using my non-dominant hand for other artwork in the future, it was pretty difficult and frustrating.
