I was very apprehensive about this at first! I have tried in the past to draw my hands and became very frustrated and gave up. I must say that this time was much more successful. The shading of the lines and the shadows were difficult at first but I just stayed with it and tried different techniques. I chose pencil because I have worked with charcoal before and seem to get more on me as my arm and hand drag across what I am drawing, however I had to add many layers to the pencil drawing to get the darker lines. I am horrible with my left hand, although I do drive with it...but that's it! I was very unhappy with the rendering of my right hand. I couldn't make straight lines, couldn't shade within the lines I made and basically had no control of what was being drawn. I will definitely not use my non-dominant hand again by choice. I like the realism I achieved with my dominant hand. I think the shape is pretty good. I would like to become better at creating the shadows and the shapes that make them but overall I was pretty happy. What is there to say about my non-dominant hand drawing except it is awful! I couldn't shade properly or even create a believable outline. My nails look more like stamps! Not happy at all with it!
