When I was little I used to write using my left hand. But my mom told me to practice writing using my right hand; thus I’m now more used to write or even draw using my right hand. Then later when I was in elementary, I heard that most artists are left-handed. So I felt disappointed, because I thought I might not become a good drawing artist. But that was already before, when I was still a kid. Even if I draw with my right hand, I could say that I still able to improve my skills in drawing so I guess there won’t be any much difference.
Then just recently I came across with this article. I know that the brain has two different ways of thinking, which is the right (the visual) and the left brain (analytical). However, it says that hand dominance has no direct relation to brain dominance. Here’s an exact excerpt from the article, “No, hand dominance is not directly related to brain dominance. And, remember, just like you don't do everything with only the one hand, so your brain doesn't do everything with one side, although there is generally a preference. However, a significant number of artists have been and are left-handed, more than would be suggested by the one-in-ten occurence of left-handedness in the population. While those who are left handed do exhibit a greater propencity for right-brain dominance, being right handed does not preclude your right brain from dominanting.”
So all I’m saying is whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, it doesn’t really matter nor does it limit your creative capabilities. It’s all up to you, and of course, your brain! To read more on the article, click here.
