Draw something with your off-hand

I had a go at this the other day and let me tell you, it was fun, but it was also pretty hard. The longer you try and draw/color, the more tiring it gets- which I guess gives you some insight into why little kids end up just scribbling things or give up halfway through. Because man that is hard work when your eye-hand coordination sucks.

Anyway it was super fun. Here's mine, some of the dumbness is affected but the wobbly lines and bad coloring? Those were my best efforts. :[

So let's see yours! (Crayons not required)

My left arm is still sore... :(
But I did all of that digital art, including the saving and naming and even the uploading with the left! ^^

My hand eye coordination with my off-hand (left) is fine, because I've trained it up to be that way by exclusively using it as my mouse hand for everything, including all games (aiming and shooting etc).
My big problem those is muscle control with how I hold the pen! My left hand is so weak in that respect and can't hold it firmly... It's like drawing with my right hand, but having it crippled with some sort of weakness. >.<

Plus, it made my left shoulder sore.

On the good side, it helps cut through all those automatic learned styles that the right-hand is plagued with! -Like how the right hand "knows" how to draw various shapes, lines and objects and has a lot of trouble when I try to change. The left doesn't have that trouble, it just does exactly what I intend... only with hardly enough strength or fine control it DO it.

Need to somehow train my left to hold onto a pen.

------------------
Note- rough drawings with my right hand in a similar time look the same as this.
Yes, I really AM that shoddy and rough an artist.

Right-handed duck by a left-handed artist:



My left hand is shaky enough with a tablet, but this...

All done with my left hand. For a while I had to keep my right hand from involuntarily stealing the stylus out of my left hand.

Well, to be fair, I did a rough sketch on a separate layer before finalizing it. But every step of the picture was done with my off hand!

It's beautiful!

Linked because I couldn't be bothered to resize it. Obviously, one of the little doodles were made with my dominant hand, but most of them are non-dominant. :D

This is pretty great.
Read this comic. It is the greatest journal comic ever written and drawn. Trust me.
