This week we had to draw our hands, first with our dominate hand (for me, right drawing my left hand) and then non-dominate hand (left drawing right). First off, drawing with either hand is not my forte so just getting the shape of the hands was hysterical. I ended up tracing them to get the shape. I think the outline of the left looks much better than the right. I chose to use pencil because I felt I would make a mess with charcoal. I started first with my dominate hand because I felt it would be easier and then do the opposite hand. I really didn't have a problem using my hand as the subject matter. Would I ever think of using my non-dominate hand to create art...NO WAY! Then again, I wouldn't use either hand. I'd rather buy art, or admire art then c reate. I believe when you look at the picture, you can tell which was done with the dominate hand without me even telling you which one it was. It also took me a lot longer than I thought the project would. I spent more time on the non-dominate hand because I had to work on how to hold the pencil to make it work the way I wanted it to.
I've attached a couple pictures because they are a little hard to see. I'm in a hotel room this week and it's midnight so it's hard to get good lighting:
Try not to laugh when you look at the right hand...you can really see that I couldn't get it to look right.
