Artist's Comments

This is my submission for :icon1pen:'s challenge for any and all dA artists, Project Disability. [link] The idea is to experience what injured and disabled artists go through as they continue to create, despite the handicaps they face.
I played it safe with the subject, a simple form. Drawn and colored entirely with my 'wrong' hand in pencil, ink and Copic markers. Erasing was really difficult, and I could NOT move the Copics freely at all. But after a bit, a funny thing happened - I just became involved with the process as if I was using my good hand. Making something I liked became more dominant than my self - imposed 'handicap'.
This has been a great experience, and you should try it.

I'm planning on doing one of these myself, what a great project. That being said, I really like the form/rhythm/coloring of this.

Me: What?! Why is that?
Dad: I donno. Maybe because when traveling South, you tend to find a lot of spoons.

Oh amazing, this is wonderful and I must look at the link, I am very interested in disability issues as i myself have 3 main handiacps, autism, dyslexia and Dyspraxia ( the latter is poor co-ordination and balance, it means i cannot ride a bike, type very well, sew, put in my own ear rings or time the food very well when I cook) very good.

Awesome! I had fun as soon as I relaxed . . . I just forgot I was using my wrong hand after a bit, it was weird. I've got an icebag on my shoulder now, though . . . ouch :P

This is quite impressive for having been done with your non-dominant hand. My normal stuff doesn't even look this good ;-). Great job.
