Muddy, TesaA. Those drawings are excellent. You both have a great talent
I appreciate good art (as in paintings and drawings. Not unmade beds etc) and I would love to be able to paint and draw like that but I can't to save my life. I don't know if it's because I'm left-handed and when I used to paint at school everything ended up smudged all over the canvas and my hand but I can only draw stick men and stupid square houses with four windows, a door and chimney (blowing smoke if I'm feeling really artistic).
My mother was an amazing artist. She painted, drew, made craft goods, everything. SusieJaeger reminds me of her talent.
Nope. I'm hopeless.
Ffloydy there have been great left handed artists Michaelangelo , Leonardo and Sir Edwin Landseer ( the animal painter ) were all ambidextrous.
have you ever tried a swan necked biro?
they are great if you are left handed - they are also good if you are not.-you cant smudge your drawing .
Thanks Muddy, praise indeed, you are an excellent artist yourself!
Floydy, I wonder if you tried drawing from right to left, if that makes sense, so you don't smudge.
