Art Making/Materiel Exploring Drawings

1) It wasn’t really different from what I am use to since I have drawn my dogs from looking at them, not from pictures. Although it was nice to be able to not have to refigure the drawing because the subject kept moving.

2) Pencil because I figured when I switched to my left hand it would give me more control to make nicer lines, also I figured that that the drawing done with my left would smear if I used charcoal because of how much my hand rubbed on the paper. I stayed with the pencil with my dominate hand so that the images would be comparable.

3) To create a drawing with my left hand was odd because my left hand shakes a little and of course doesn’t have the muscle control that my right has so the line wouldn’t come out straight. This meant instead of doing longer lines I just drew short lines and did not get as in depth with the shading.  I kind of had to rethink my method of drawing, which was confusing and I also kept wanting to switch to my right for finer outlining and things, but I had to remind myself not to.

4) The drawing done with my right is obviously the better of the two, but I do like how the drawing done with my left came out, it is sketchy but looks like the subject. I would say they are successful in seeing how motor control in the hands works, but not of what my hands look like, as the drawing with my left doesn’t have the detail that the other does.


5) I’d use for drawing plants and trees since the lines wouldn’t be as controlled but that is ok for drawing like that as it gives it a more real feel. I wouldn’t for things like faces or bodies due to the fine detail needed to make it look right.
