hey mates,
I was thinking...I am left handed and I prefer to draw the closest point (where I start with) at the right side...so most of times my cars front side is at the right...do you all have that same thing?? (I think there will be a difference when you copy a picture...but if I should copy a picture and the front is at the left side...i mirror it hehe;-))

Well, I'm also left-handed and prefer to draw 3/4 view with the driver's side showing... although, about 40% of my drawings are fronm the other side. But as mentioned before, if my reference picture (or request) is from a different side I do it... unless, of course, I can invert it on the computer. Robo

I'm right handed when I draw on paper but a home accident years ago led to me being forced to use the mouse left handed so I draw on the computer left handed.
Funny thing is my wife can use either hand with the mouse as well as we used to have only 1 computer.

Left handed here, I tend to just draw what feels most comfortable. I don't have a certain place i start, or end.

Righty. The only things my left is good for are eating and sports. I can draw a car from either angle but tend to draw showing the drivers side.

i'm a leftie. writing and drawing.
i use a mouse right-handed, though. and i play guitar, bat a ball, kick, right-handed or right-sided. i taught myself to use my right hand to write about 15 years ago for fun. i can do it, but the control is not as good as my left.
i don't really know what side of the paper i start on. i don't think i start in the same way every time. it depends on the choice i make for the "featured" side of something, or where the "hero" is to be placed on the page.
i do tend to favor a 3/4 view that features the USDM driver's side to the viewer, with the front of the car pointing to the left. so because of that tendency, i will correct myself and do the view from the opposite side to keep my drawings varied.

Drawing is right handed. If I draw an angled view, its always from the drivers side. But most of my sketches and drawings are just from the driver side or the front.

Lefty with a pen, righty with the mouse. When I draw a car I tend to do it most of the time 3/4 and a bit from the top, starting with the back wheel and most of the time showing the driver door.

I'm right handed but my art teacher in high school would make us draw w/ our opposite hand. So I have done sketches w/ my left.
