1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was awkward because I could not position myself without using both hands as the subject matter was my hand. Just a different way of sitting especially when I had to draw with my non-dominant hand, it became a little more difficult.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I used charcoal as I was sitting with my girlfriend in her art studio class at UB and she had it readily available and I never really worked with charcoal so I used it for one of my first times.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
As I stated before it was pretty tough as I never use my non-dominant hand for drawing especially when I can't use my dominant hand for anything because I needed to look at it and keep it in place the entire drawing.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
Although I had to use different hands to draw, I feel as if my drawings look somewhat similar in quality. I really took my time when using my non-dominant hand however, as I knew it would be tougher to achieve the same quality as that of my dominant hand. However, I do think different creations can be performed simply by using a different hand, and if the subject matter I was reproducing was a larger scale the drawings would be much more variant.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
Probably not, as I said it took much more time using my non-dominant hand and obviously the quality will not be near that of my dominant hand, however I think i would possibly use it for a draft or something similar for ideas.
