Drawing with my Left Hand

One of the things I would very vaguely like to do in the coming year is be a little bit more experimental. I used to do a lot more traditional art (rather than digital), and with that was all of this freedom with medium, texture, etc. I see tons of interesting and creative ideas all the time, and I think I used to have a bit of a looser approach to posting art.

So, with that in mind, and my still-looming repetitive strain injury that I am nursing to varying degrees of success (felt much better after taking a long walk and watching some Pluribus episodes instead of doing basically anything with these hands), I tried some simple drawings with my left hand. And I really like them.

I enjoy the much looser and more jagged quality of line they have. With the caveat that I did adjust the eyeballs in the first image with my right hand (I am sorry, okay, I am a fraud - I am a right-handed huckster).

The truly great thing about shaky, blocky, hurried lines or brushstrokes though is that their capacity for indirect representation can be wider than tighter linework. What's going on is, on average, more interpretable. I like that. The great expanse of the unclear. The left hand is the master of an alternative world.
