Drawing with both hands (and feet) ✍️✍️🦶️🦶️

= Most artists spend a lifetime honing their drawing skills with their dominant hand. However, one exceptionally talented artist is able to create realistic portraits with both of her hands as well as her feet. ​ Based in the Netherlands, 29-year-old [Rajacenna van Dam]() has become famous for her unbelievable ambidextrous drawing abilities. And not only can she draw with both hands but she can also use both hands and feet to draw numerous projects at the same time. In a [video]( posted online, you can see Van Dam seated at a glass table with four sheets of paper—two are spread across on top of a desk and two are laid out on the floor beneath it. She begins sketching four portraits with her right and left hands, alternating across the different pages every so often to ensure that the illustrations progress at the same pace. Interestingly, she renders each piece upside-down to her, making it easier for the viewers to watch the magic happen, but undoubtedly adding difficulty to her multitasking. ​ [Read About Rajacenna van Dam]() ​ [Divider] ​ ​ ​ “Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.” – [Salvador Dal]()​[í]() (1904–1989) ​ [Divider] ​ ​ ​ There are many great reasons to try [art markers](). One is because of how easy they are to use and their portability. Whether you’re staying in your studio or drawing on location, it’s effortless to grab a handful of the hues that you’ll need and put them in your bag. And speaking of colors, many artist marker sets come in packs of 12, 18, or even 60 pens, so you’ve got a variety of hues at your disposal.
