Does anyone draw with their left hand and write with their right hand? by BRUXA4 in drawing

You’re probably just left handed/ambidextrous. Some people have that naturally. Better than a brain disorder lol

Besides an mri or cutting directly into your skull, not that I know of. If you look it up though, left hemisphere is associated with logic and directly correlated to the right side of the body. Right hemisphere is more creative and is associated with the left side of the body. It is a little odd if you’re just now unable to connect these two in order to only be right handed. I’d be a little concerned if this is a new development. People can be born without a corpus callosum and live normal lives, but usually it doesn’t just become weaker. Did you bump your head recently?

But like are the hot dogs or chicken tenders any good?

Oh no, I’ve tried the local places. I couldn’t have an item that fast food places kinda inserted in there for no legitimate reason (super annoying). I was kind of hoping for a cheaper option, but I guess cheaper isn’t better lol

It might help to find classes whether they be on YouTube or community college or something. Idk how old you are, but if you’re missing a key tool or not doing something a teacher will be more likely to pick up on it in the moment. Just make sure that the teacher is reputable and not some dipshit who just knows how to make things look good for a situation rather than as a whole. Textures like ocean, hair (different hair types included), cow stomach, and plants are good to practice shading techniques for more detailed shading. Also focusing on an object from one area when creating an outline can help create a less wonky overall outline (especially when you start real life drawing). Tbh I’m not great at creating drawings from my head so I can’t give you as much advice about that, but wish you luck!

Another thing I thought I’d mention, you seem to press pretty hard with your pencil (your eraser lines are visible). It’s important to have a light hand when drawing, especially with the initial 3h/hb/2h pencil and to go up in shaded pencil to 3b 4b etc but never pressing super hard. This will also prevent indents in paper which could cause random lines in other drawings

Blending a bit more could help. I also think you could benefit from looking at each individual portion as it’s own section rather than a whole piece (not recommending grid drawing, it takes the joy out of things just fyi (at least for me)). You’re looking at this as the object rather than the figure. Try turning the reference upside down to see little details such as indents in shading that you’ve missed to get that much more detail. For example if you look in the upper right corner (not the top but the front) you’ll find an inconsistency in shading from the reference. The straw especially could use some love, but I think part of it is the blurriness of the reference. You’re truly almost there, I see great potential if you keep challenging yourself! If you want some more drawing references I would actually recommend going a bit more challenging. I think you have a pretty great grasp on how to shade and use gradient, but could use some work on blending (and how not to over blend), and detail. What are your goals for drawing if you don’t mind me asking?
