Thanks Cricketts!
So today my right hand was acing. Using my thumb to hold things kind of hurt, to the point that if pushed, will get much worse! So I decided to let my hand rest and go lefty instead!
Now, I don't have much drawing experience with my left hand, but I find that when I draw I naturally use my whole arm as opposed to pinching my fingers, like I do with my right hand.
Since this hand is "fresh" (and innocent) it does not have all the bad habits from years of writing. This is really interesting to me, and fun!
So for the time being I'm going to draw left handed! Ideally I would like to be able to alternate between hands. Lets say that you draw for an hour with one hand and then one more hour with the other. Minimizing risk of injury.
So here are my humble beginnings and drawings from today! :D
