Module #9 Hand Drawing



#1. Using my hand as a subject matter was not very new, since we use our hands for everyday use. Although the focus I had to use to look at the lines in my hands made it interesting since I never really knew how the lines looked.

#2. For this I used pencil because it was the only thing I had at the time. Even if I did have charcoal to use I still would have picked the pencil because charcoal is very messy and you cannot erase it that easily. 

#3. I first drew my left hand with my dominant hand, and it was super easy and only look me about the seconds. On the other hand using my non-dominant was pretty strange, it took my double the time because I had to carefully position the pencil in my hand.

#4. I tried to draw my hand without tracing but it was too difficult with my non-dominant. I ended up tracing both of my hands but obviously free handed the lines and nails. The difference I found is that doing the drawing/tracing with my dominant hand I barely put effort into it but with my non-dominant I had to concentrate and take my time. Free drawing with my non-dominant the shade of the pencil mark is darker than my dominant hand.

#5. If it was free drawing like making random shapes and no real sense of line I would intentionally use my left non-dominant hand to create different things than using my right hand. I think it would add more to the painting or drawing.
