But I have drawn some animals with my left hand, the last drawing challenge before it all went south.
First, a Hairy Eary Thing, as a warm up exercise:
Every part of this was with the left hand, including the shade-and erase on the creature's back. Using an eraser with the left hand is harder than using a pencil!
Then I drew a frog-like creature, as inspired by a frog drawing from my god-daughter many years ago. (She'd be surprised at what I keep!)
I suspect her five-year-old drawing of a frog was more frog-like than mine! Pen drawing is scary. I tend to go for simple outlines, because I'm scared of doing texture with pen lines. Something new to overcome.
Then I decided to stop fooling around and try to draw a frog left-handed from a photo (not having any pet frogs, I couldn't draw from life).
I'm actually quite pleased with that. I'm not sure I could draw it any better with my right hand! Though you'll notice I didn't draw it in ink...
Next week's challenge?
Draw marginalia in an old book
OK, this is going to be a real challenge.
I don't draw in books.
I don't do altered books.
I just don't.
Waah!
