Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: Hi modmad! I’m trying to learn how to write with my left hand and I remembered that you draw with yours! Do you have any recommendations for better control or things like that?

simple things! basic geometric shapes like squares and circles, draw two dots and try to draw a straight line between them, numbers and the upper case alphabet- anything you can think of that isn’t so complicated you get distract by the final concept; what you’re learning is motor control, not ‘how to draw’. You’re making new roadways in your brain, and that takes time! so just take it slow and steady- a little in the morning, a little in the evening, every day every day every day. I do things like that even now, with both hands! It makes for a good warm up.
