Exploring Lines

I think using my hands as subject matter was interesting. Doing this assignment made me focus more on the detail of lines throughout my hands. The more I starred at my hands, I studied the form in witch my hands were structured. That made it easier for me to sketch them out on paper.

The type of media I used to sketch my hands was a pencil. I chose this media because personally I feel like charcoal is hard to erase, its darker then a pencil and it gets everywhere on your hands. With a pencil you can make light marks and it barely shows up on the paper. It is also easier using a pencil because you can make light and dark shadings with it.

When trying to sketch my non-dominant hand it was definitely a challenge for me because I have never tried to draw with that hand before. My dominant hand is my left hand as far as writing goes but I do everything with my right hand. Drawing my left hand with my right hand was hard because I never thought to use my right hand when it comes to drawing or writing things. Also my left hand came out smaller then my right hand

When comparing and contrasting my final drawings I think they were successful. Mainly because I took three attempts at drawing my left hand. On the fourth attempt my left hand came out better then I expected it would.

Using my non-dominant hand to make future artwork would be a no for me. It takes a lot of time to make sure something comes out the way you want it. For me I would not have the patience to use my non-dominant hand.
