Happy (late) Halloween!


I am left handeded

Only  about 10% of the population is left handed, and I believe only 7% of women are so. One day in work two colleagues of mine wondered what it would be like if they tried to draw certain things with their right and left hands respectively as one was left handed and the other right. The results were pretty amusing and I was asked to join in later on. My results were actually more terrifying, because apart from trying to write my name with my right hand every so often and being horrified at how much it looked like my right hand had never left primary school, I hadn't tried to draw right handed.
Turns out a lot of my drawings look cute when I draw with my usual hand, but turn into monsters when I let my right hand attempt the same drawing.

So I decided it would be cool to try to put some of them online. Just to see if people want me to attempt anything specific, although I won't do too many at once - I don't want my right hand actually learning how to draw. It might gain sentience next.

For example, here is a happy festive snowman.

Who becomes this Tim Burton monstrosity when my right hand decides it wants to have a go:

I'm sorry snowman, I didn't mean to create you and cause all your suffering. Please put down that kitchen knife.
