Hand Drawing

     1) It was a very interesting exercise to use my hand as a subject for is project.  Staring at my hand and trying to draw the lines in my fingers and palm made me think of the models, my hand, who were posing for the portraits in the videos and the artists making the drawings, myself.

     2) I used pencil for the drawings I did not have charcoal available.

     3) It took some getting used to sketching with my left hand, I certainly did not have the same control as my right. However I did find that my left handed pencil strokes had a different style than my right and so created a different texture.

     4) The dominant hand drawing is certainly more defined and trying to make the cross hatches was much easier than with my left hand.  My comparison of the two is that my dominate hand produced that of a monkey and my non-dominant hand made the wolf man's.

     5)  Using my non-dominant hand would probably not be my first choice. But perhaps it would offer a different perspective and as I stated earlier the pencil strokes were different and would maybe add a distinctive look to a piece of art.
