As you can see, I have no artistic talent! I feel trying to draw hands, especially for someone who has never taken an art class to learn to draw, is a much too difficult subject matter. I chose to draw with pencil simply because it was available to me and charcoal was not, nor do I have any idea how to draw with charcoal. Drawing with either hand was difficult for me. Ironically it seems like the drawing of the back of my right hand, made with my non dominant left hand, is actually better made. Maybe this is because the back of a hand may be less intricate. I guess to know whether or not art with my non dominant hand is a successful study I would need to try this again with a more simple subject. Two of my children, my husband, my mother and my niece are incredibly talented in art. I know that this is NOT a strength for me. Therefore, I would not likely try artwork with my non dominant hand again.
