When drawing are we using the right side of the brain or the left side?

Question

I believe its the left side.

Answer 1

Right brain is: Creativity, art, dreaming, etc.
Left is logic, math, organized thinking, etc.

For those who are amindextrias (sp?) (can use both hands) some say it is switched. Or it depends on wether they are left or right handed.

Answer 2

I believe it is the right side. Most artists out there are left handed because the part of the brain that controls crativity, imagination and all that good stuff also controls the left hand (mostly). That is why left handed people find it easier do draw or paint than right handed people, but not all the time. I hope this helped : )

Answer 3

Left side because I can't change my mind to see her moving clockwise. I am more creative and I'm bad at Math which surprises me that I got Left as a result. I'd personally say I use abit of both sides of the brain.

Answer 4

Most studies indicate it's the RIGHT side that is the "creative" hemisphere.

BTW, there is an excellent book by Betty Edwards on the "practical" side of doing this...she is primarily writing for Art Students, but you might want to look at her book, "Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain."

Answer 6

I am an artist, I dont care.....as long it does what I want it to do, if it uses the left or right side, do you really care?
Or are you a neurosurgeon?

Answer 7

Answer 8
