Wrong Hand Rhonda

This is my entry for the "make something with your non-dominant hand" challenge by NatashaMay over at the Butterfly Effect - you can check it out at http://whisper-to-whirlwind.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-stuff-with-your-non-dominant-hand.html

I was very surprised - it was fun to do.  I even colored her with my non-dominant hand.  It's pretty freeing - there is no way this could be "perfect".  I feel like she looks some days - colored a bit outside the lines with some jagged edges.  She's trying to keep that lopsided smile on her fact - but it's tough!  Sorry for so many posts in one day - just had a lot to share.  Thanks for stopping by.

    She is great. I always think portraits done with your non-dominant hand have some character in their faces, and I don't even attempt to do a correct portrait. I cheated though and coloured with my dominant hand.

      I agree - she does have more character than more "perfect" faces - maybe that's because none of us have perfect faces (even if we are "perfectly" lovely lol) Thanks for stopping by

    I think she is wonderful! ...and I totally agree about the "freeing" effect of using your non dominant hand. I had great fun :D XXX

      Thanks - like your name by the way!!! I actually like her as well - especially because she was a stress free creation - will definitely do more this way

    Dearest Gina, I believe that is one of the most wonderful feelings--to just be without worrying about what others are expecting. You described it perfectly and your art showed it, too ;-)

    Thanks for sharing ;-)
