Ambidextrous Drawings

This is part of a drawings' series I've made with both hands. I called them "fountains":)
I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous

@elafina I am a da Vinci fan, too.

@Nelladell I'm getting inspiration by some, and he's one of them:)

Ok hope to start back going to open studios tomorrow.
elafina · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 you can try perhaps and keep some clothing items on if that feels overwhelming..
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@elafina Well, i may start that way, but, if my curiosity is to experience the full effect, i will need to "drop the robe!" I have had no problem sharing my index photos with my art teachers, male and female, but posing in person is something altogether different.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@samueltyler2 I will be posing clothed the end of January!

So I’m guessing you are ambidextrous. It’s an awesome thing for sure. I am ambidextrous as well and I have some awesome skills thanks to it.

I don’t know many truly ambidextrous people, most are generally very adept using both hands and that in its own right is amazing.
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@elafina hi, thx for your response. Yes I ambidextrous but not born that way. Born left handed and at age of 8 was forced to only bat right handed as it was “Just too hard to try and teach one lefty out of 19 on the team.


I did not hit one baseball that entire season thanks to Coach Gabe. However it was a lesson in life for me I can now use both has equal for the most part and I find is a superior quality but I posses.
elafina · 36-40, F
@gdon39 that sounds super cool 😊!!! Not the being forced part... but I think it worked out to your benefit!
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@elafina you are so right. I have used my time developing my right hand and I’m awesome at both
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I can't even draw with [i]one[/i] hand!

This is really good. Thank you for sharing it.
elafina · 36-40, F
@DrWatson and thank you for commenting 💐
gdon39 · 41-45, M
We’ve had chats about your amazing work. I’m quite happy to be reminded of you and your art. Attached is what we talked about previously. My ability to write upside down and backwards meaning I have written these sentences starting with the final letter of the sentence. With my left hand and my right hand.

Elafina perhaps you could message me at your convenience or Lmk if it’s okay to contact you.

so so beautiful
elafina · 36-40, F
@hiddenpearl thank you....i want to get back to this practice... perhaps later in this month..?
@elafina you inspired me to do too
elafina · 36-40, F
@hiddenpearl yes go ahead and try, it's really nice and interesting...
Madmonk · M
I was pleasantly surprised by this. Nicely done
elafina · 36-40, F
@Madmonk nice to hear that ☺️
Sharky86 · 36-40, M
Good for you, keep drawing and painting!
elafina · 36-40, F
@Sharky86 i will, thank you:)
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
One of my art teachers used to have me draw with only my non-dominant hand.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@elafina yes, I took advanced art in high school, but no other classes until I started every decade or so to have a need to create, so took drawing, painting, photography and sculpting.
elafina · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 for me what came later in life was/is music...i recently joined the choir and began taking singing classes..i stopped but I want to keep at it..art is my life i suppose? Some days I wish for a very normal life though.... and then i take months long break..
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@elafina funny, I took piano and guitar as a child, played guitar through college. When my son was in high school and played in the band, i took up trombone so we could play together. Now I play in 3 bands!
bookerdana · M
looks great!
elafina · 36-40, F
@bookerdana thanks! it's not exactly finished but i thought I'd spoil it if I worked more on it!
bookerdana · M
@elafina i know that feeling!
Canuckle · 51-55, M
Cool now I understand your avatar :)
gdon39 · 41-45, M
I like it and I really appreciate the use of both your hands creating the piece.

Do you consider yourself ambidextrous?
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@elafina Your ambidextrous art is good. I was so happy to see your post.

I am truly ambidextrous but wasn’t born that way. I worked hard to use both my natural left hand and my right hand after being told I must use my right hand by a coach who clearly wasn’t really a good fit for a person to coach and mold young people as they developed.

It’s taken my entire life but I can do nearly everything quite well with both hands and legs.
elafina · 36-40, F
@gdon39 sounds good! maybe your coach wasn't that bad...:)
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@elafina I feel like he was completely wrong to be a coach but I’m great full for the lesson.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
I admire great artwork from people like you. The way you've done it with colors would let me know that your personality is in the right place. 👍
elafina · 36-40, F
@xSiFiGamer2016x you should have seen my drawings as a teenager. People with missing limbs, hands, black and more black. Life is a journey through a variety of territories 💕
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@elafina That's facts. I wouldn't mind seeing more of those drawings. You should also see my own artwork in my profile images. 👍❤️
elafina · 36-40, F
@xSiFiGamer2016x definitely will do!
elafina · 36-40, F
Yay 100 reactions to my art post !!! I'm sending a SW gift to anyone who wants one 😁 Comment here and I'll send yours as soon as I see this 🙂
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@elafina beautifully done thanks for the gift. I can't pm you until you pm me.
QCDog2659 · 61-69, M
@elafina Getting to enjoy your art is the greatest gift.
daydeeo · 61-69, M
@elafina I really like your work, E. It's original abd has a light, happy, quality to it that I just love.
JohnnySpot · 56-60, M
I never touched a brush for this one at all.
JohnnySpot · 56-60, M
@elafina
chemical reaction of oil-based blue and window glaze snow.
elafina · 36-40, F
@JohnnySpot I also love letting chemistry do the work. I worked in the past with oil colour and soap ;)
JohnnySpot · 56-60, M
@elafina
I was tired of these so I weaved them together.
daydeeo · 61-69, M
My sister did a sketchbook lefthanded. Some very good stuff. I scanned the whole thing.
The images aren't on my phone or I'd post some
SW-User
Very cool! I wish I had some of that talent
SW-User
@elafina Alas, I have less than half
elafina · 36-40, F
@SW-User it's supposed to be a joke, not to discourage you or anything..🤗 I don't think of myself as that talented to be honest. It's just that I'm doing this for a long time now
SW-User
@elafina aww it's ok, you got a giggle out of me
Nice feeling for colour and mark-making.
A feeling of fluidity and spontaneity - like a kid full of joy sliding down a slippery dip.
jackson55 · M
When I was in school I would do murals on the blackboard. Christmas, thanksgiving. I would use both hands.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
I am ambidextrous to some extent. But i can't paint with my right, so i don't blame the left. 😀
I’m left optional myself… a little too much neuroplasticity for comfort.
elafina · 36-40, F
@Melies say some more..
okaybut · 56-60, M
The thing looks friendly...with good energy. 😀
elafina · 36-40, F
@okaybut yes, it's a portrait of a good friend...😊
okaybut · 56-60, M
@elafina Then awesome...you captured it. 😀
Jlhzfromep · M
Impressive! I am jealous because I cant even draw a stick man
elafina · 36-40, F
@Jlhzfromep we all begin from somewhere... for me it is the selling-them-part where i feel I'm behind.. and I am working my way 🤗
assemblingaknob · 26-30, F
Wait. You used both hands at the same time?
elafina · 36-40, F
