Artist's Comments

This is my submission for the great challange of :icon1pen:, Project Disability. I really enjoy and respect challanges like this! :worship: The task is to use only your non-dominant hand.

This portrait was entirely made by my left hand. First I used pencil (it came out very soon that I cannot draw a single line at all and shading was a hopeless case... :alien: ). I continued with watercolour - much-much easier I tell you but I became really exhausted when I finally finished.

I intentionally chose a face of a harsh man, I thought it would be easier with my "disabled" hand - so Toby Stephens came to my mind as Edward Rochester (BBC adaptation of Charlotte Bronté's Jane Eyre). I have learnt only yesterday that he is the son of Dame Maggie Smith (Minerva McGonagall). I was laughing outloud because I have spent _hours_ tormenting my mind that why I find this man so familiar...? that unique nose...those nostrils, the lines around his mouth...

It was so much fun to try my neglected left hand.... I hope many of you will follow me and take part in this challenge!!! :wave:

Seriously. With your non-dominant hand?! This is amazing. There really is some wonderful work coming out for this project :-). I can't even draw well with my dominant hand, lol. I am just amazed by this.

You hack your way through the jungle and there comes a point where the guide says "get out your cameras. The gorillas are around the corner." I grabbed my sketch book. The guide looked at me like I was an idiot.

Sweeeeeeeeeet work! See what I mean? I can tell it's you in this - very well done for your wrong hand - it's like the artist's basic essence asserts itself, no matter what the problems he or she is presented. :hug::highfive::hug:

If you must drink and draw, please do so responsibly.

Incredible. I'd say like Joeyv7 here. I don't know...maybe the fact that one uses the wrong hand makes things easier in a way - I imagine that you don't want to be ';perfect', you think less with your brains, more with your instinct...this is an excellent result and I so like his glare here...

OMG. All I can say is: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
First (when I looked at the thumbnail, and being quite tired) I thought: Now that's a fine (and hot) Yule-Ball-Severus by Expell-HUN (because I am so used to seeing Snape art done by you) before I realised it was Mr. Rochester (who is, of course, also part of my "virtual harem" of book characters :D).
What amazes me most is that you did this excellent portrait with your non-dominant hand! I can't even do it with my right one!!! :cry:
Anyways, thank you for the fanservice; you made a SnarkyVillainTypeGroupie happy! :boogie:

Micsoda??? Ez a másik kezeddel van??? Amikor megláttam a thumbnailt, az volt az első gondolatom: Úristen, ez mekkora jó ké;p, és simán felismertem, hogy ki az! Ha én rajzolok a bal kezemmel, hehe, az sem biztos, hogy látszik, hogy ember:D Komolyan, ez baromi jó lett, fav is rögvest:)
Gilda már kiokosított engem is a fickóból pár hónappal ezelőtt, úgyhogy én már tudtam, hogy kinek a fia, de tényleg nagyon hasonlít:D
