You know what would be cool. Draw a sketch or something quick with your right hand, and then draw the same thing with your left. Or the other way around, if you are left handed.

i tried to do that once. i think it just takes lots of practice to get the same motor skills in your left hand.
ive heard of artists who loose thier right hand and then they pick up drawing with their left quite sucessfully. |

Really? Wow. That's weird.
Wanna know something. hehe, I broke my right thumb. I've got a thing on it so it heals. It's like a mini cast. And I am drawing with it on better than I usually ever draw. Maybe when I get the cast off, I won't be able to draw at all, or maybe, just maybe, I'll get super drawing abilities. hehehe. |

mm.. if I try writing with my left hand, I naturally draw mirrored, like if I write something, you'd have to hold it up to a mirror to see it right. Came in handy for drawing on bus windows I guess it's the same for drawing too, though I don't think I've really tried.. |

Think its important to try out how to draw with your 'untalented' hand. Maybe it's annoying to start again like a little child, but it sharpens your sense for more important things (colours, light, the form itself).
I tried out many times and it helped me to understand the true meaning of art (for my own personal development - I refuse to make that stuff visible to others *g*) ... routine and practice are sometimes cumbersome.
I'd be curious to see the forum members� lefthand pictures (or rahter righthand pictures, if they are lefthanded ) |
