Left-hand drawing challenge for 30 days
Most of us have a dominant hand that we write with and carry out delicate tasks etc. This is the case with Artists who usually use their dominant hand to draw and paint. Due to this, I setup a unique challenge to myself and to draw with my least dominant hand which is my left-hand.
Each day, I would do one drawing with charcoal, pastels on paper and recorded the 30 day event.
I believe the exercise would be useful to beginners and they can see the whole progress through the 30 days from the video link below.

Left Hand Drawing Challenge Daily 30 Days
Drawing is very stimulating and highly rewarding for me. Recently with my right arm playing up a bit, I thought I would try to work with my left hand which I have never done before. Since this provokes many questions on the subject of drawing, I thought I would make a series out of this and call it a Left Hand Drawing Challenge. You will see all my daily uploads in Youtube.
