Hand Drawing

 1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
I found it to be easy to sketch a hand up close in person. I was able to look at my hand from different viewpoints to help me better create my drawing.

2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
In this drawing I selected to use pencil because I did not have any chalk. Additionally, I thought a pencil would be cleaner and easier to use for this drawing.

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
Although I found it very difficult to create a drawing with my non-dominant hand, I was surprised how the drawing came out.

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
In terms of proportion, I think the drawings came out successfully. Perhaps, if I used chalk the drawings would have been better detailed.

5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
I would not consider using my non-dominant hand unless I was creating a less detailed drawing.
