Drawing with my non-dominant hand, my left hand

[@karenvc8005]

Sketching a bicycle is a challenge even with the dominant hand. This is really good. I just love watching you draw and and paint. You always inspire me to try something. I appreciate you allowing us to see you recover from mistakes like too much red.

[@figment44444]

i’m left handed so watching you do this makes me happy 😆 i don’t know why!

[@adamjones4242]

Me too! I am training actively to be right handed.

[@tank2965]

Being left handed, I had struggles in school with writing in ringed binders and writing with pens that didn’t dry quickly and I would get ink all over the side palm of my hand

[@onemig00]

Made me think of how it was reversed when we stayed in UAE for awhile. They wrote from right to left and started at what seemed like the "back" of the notebook for me... Also Japanese also writes from right to left but modern times have published material that are from left-to-right

[@tank2965]

onemig00 I’ve studied Hebrew for a few years and it’s the same way. I prefer the way it writes because it feels more natural for my hand to flow.

[@onemig00]

@@tank2965 that's amazing! I'm really happy we live in a time we can see other cultures and practices and see we're not alone :)

[@sayidinaumarachfisti3478]

Im left handed but i dont face the same problem.. because i write at a 90° angle .. you should try it

[@onemig00]

I've always looked up to you, Teoh and you doing this challenge for SPD does not disappoint. You are amazing not just because of what you can do but what you do it for!

[@lindyashford7744]

Also lefthanded, you have to work differently anf start on the right of the page and work to the left, having said that Teoh, I know i could not have done anything that competent with my non-dominant right hand! I have a bit of a shaky drawing style as I have a disability myself, and can see that your wobbly lines are not too different from mine. I paint better, for some reason I control a paintbrush better than a pen. It really does reveal some of the challenges in tasks and abilities we take for granted. Newly acquired disability is very challenging, as letting go of the backstory of ability and easing into a new reality can bring a great sense of loss. Art can be great in this respect, we can work to rule or break them all, and the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Who hopefully is more forgiving than we are of ourselves. Nice work, and you did really well. Not as fluent, but still decidedly your work.

[@LucyZart]

I broke my dominant arm when I was 14, and was afraid I would not be able to draw. My father said that I was the artist, not my arm. I learned about an artist who held a pen in her teeth, and another who used her feet to draw. I practiced using my non-dominant hand for several weeks. It was jittery, but acceptably artistic. Try putting your pans beside the book, and pushing toward the book when you swipe for paint into the pans. The edge of the book can stop them from sliding.

[@erforscher]

It still looks a master piece👌😉

[@chammikaiser7740]

I think you have done extremely well with your left hand Teoh. It is because you are very good at observational skills. Well done.

[@strawbrryfld1]

🤓My gosh I wouldn’t even attempt this ! I’m jealous of your left hand !

[@rashone2879]

Attempt it!

[@Shesvii]

"I realized my hand is actually blocking what I can see." Welcome to the beautiful world of left handed artists! :') We do block what we write/draw with the hand so we rewrite words very often thinking we didn't write them down. We also smudge gelly inks and graphite and that's why personally I only use ballpoint pens and coloured pencils.

[@colorcrazy2944]

Great job! His bike does look like he rides on a lot of rough roads & might need a new one soon. I have a feeling if I try this I will be happy if I manage stick figures lol.

[@vwood2]

It’s a great challenge! It was interesting to hear you say that left and right had become confusing for you. A fun exercise - it’s neat to see how your style is consistent regardless of which hand you use😅. And more importantly, the sketch looks great! Which just goes to show that in painting, expression is far more important than exactness. So art can be available to everyone, regardless of the barriers we’re working with.

[@almanicholls]

Brave to try this and I'm very impressed 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Kira-1418]

Such a good cause and interesting challenge!

[@anoma6701]

he watercolors so effortlessly wth 💓✨ so fun to watch someone like him paint

[@johnkamerling6156]

Teoh you are a wonderful person, and a inspiration to us all. What happened was you touched many with your unselfishness and talent.

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@ev5530]

I like how so funny and hard are these challenges... may i try too! Thank you for this video! Your art still amazing with your left hand too haha

[@cindyhorton6980]

WOW!!!! What a challenge! And you did it very well! That was loads of fun to watch!!😱😄Thank you Teoh!!!

[@jp8649]

This is such a fantastic idea! I've had to relearn to draw dealing with spasticity and tremor so this hits pretty close to home. You've done a fantastic job! I love that you took is seriously and didn't rush.

[@jghim1994]

Very interesting to watch, and a great cause!! great content as always

[@maryclemons1048]

Amazing! You are so good!

[@edkmall]

I had to do this myself due to surgery on my thumb joint December 2017. I started with coloring with crayons then moved on to watercolor then finally sketching. It takes a lot of concentration. I’m thankful I can use my dominant hand again . 😃

[@anoma6701]

“Let’s see what happens.” THE DESCRIPTION BOX HAHAHAHSKSK

[@Waynimations]

I just saw this on Instagram! Great work

[@volcanowb]

I've done this, too! I actually didn't do too bad. I'm very glad to see how you are active in the community!

[@Miarth3000]

i draw very often with my non dominant hand, as a challenge. it is part of how imperfect and inaccurate the draw can be, while i want to be in control of my drawing . im so happy to see other people trying this 😊

[@angrybird32495]

Good job! I love how it turned out.

[@catherinelevison3310]

Beautiful and not your dominant hand! It proves your skill is there which is good to know in case you lose your right hand. It looks really good.

[@OzdogArt]

Great result, great cause, very well done ! Regards

[@isabellecade277]

The result is very good ! It’s not easy. Our brain is doing surprises, even at the beginning when we're strangely keeping our pen 😂

[@amyjoystudios]

Loving these uploads, Teoh!! I look forward to these treats from your channel every day!

[@christinelazarides8916]

I think you did pretty amazing, this is a great challenge, they say do this on an airplane if you start to have anxiety while flying too, thanks for another great drawing.

[@AngeliqueLins]

Well done! Artistic, creative result.

[@ghentsy1]

Awesome job Teoh 👍👏👏👏👏. I should try this.

[@raffaellafeltrin1350]

Left or right hand, it's a good work the same! Your brain emispheres works very well both of them!!!!

[@annettefournier9655]

Well done Teoh!

[@karenjohnson6487]

You did awesome. Good for you.

[@manukamelts]

You did a really great job! I started watercolour with my non-dominant hand when I tore the ligament in my dominant. It helped a lot with learning how to control fine muscle movement. Felt really odd though. Haha...and my painting was never as good as yours!

[@Donna_G]

When I was much younger, in my teens, I would say, I wrote with my left hand. But, it would be a mirror image of what it would be if I had written with my right hand. Now, I can't seem to do it even when I try. I have used my left hand to paint landscapes, primarily evergreen trees. I have even painted with both hands at the same time. That was quite a challenge.

[@Axillity]

Love this idea!

[@marijadika6444]

An amazing demo! I have to try this

[@judithsopher4711]

Super job. t must feel so clumsy. Can't believe how good you did this.Now I want to try it.

[@MrQuaazga]

Tech, I'm going to try this, as it looks like fun. I drew upside down before and it came out very good. I just got my fountain pen and some ink, I am going to start practicing.

[@Artpoint24by7]

Very nice..I like it..big thumbs up.

[@cgsigsykchf1915]

Yassssss he did the challenge !! 😍💙

[@CharleyWang]

Subscribing to your channel is very correct, because your updates are very fast, quality is guaranteed, and I have to keep up with your rhythm.

[@kaczynskis]

wonderful cause! great vid love it

[@higherground711]

That couldn't have been easy to do with the opposite hand. I applaud you for the effort and the result. 👍 😁

[@MoYvStarkey]

This was great. It's good to exercise the right and left. Did you get the feeling part of your brain was in the dark? It is a challenge. You did great. thank you.

[@jendesign5537]

Its excellent!

[@RoyBlumenthal]

Impressive! Good work, Teoh!

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@_pearlhoney_3277]

Better than I could do with my left lol!!❤️

[@capbin146]

Better than I could do with my dominant hand.

[@DoodleyDoodah]

I remember doing this before! It feels so weird and interesting! (I’m right handed)

[@paulopaiva8229]

Are you sure you're not a left-handed? ambidextrous? wow

[@qtsm_coloring_art]

My thoughts exactly.

[@carlnygren3448]

Good practise both for hand and brain ;) Learn you to see a little more concentrated on what you create. Also free you upp from drawing habits. Many of the great artist is saying in their old age "I have to start over again from the beginning to free me".

[@kuvira44]

Your drawing with your non doninant hand is better than mine with my dominant hand lol

[@師太滅絕]

The pen-nib. if it is fountain pen, it is the right-hand nib, and when you try the non-dominant hand, it will be really funny. (just like if you use your RH to sketch with a left-hand nib)

@@teohyc I am ambidextrous. And i paint (oil) with both hand..... the output is distinctly different.

[@MrJairo3259]

👏👏👏

[@tukodprojects1894]

It is not recommended to use fountain pen on your left hand.

[@shirleyhiggins3395]

I can't see the link to the photo in the description??

Thankyou, I am going to try it with both hands to compare the difference.
