I like breaking my brain when I draw. I only started drawing with two hands a few years ago(while also discovering that I was ambidextrous), and I was immediately intrigued by the potential of creating a drawing with complete symmetry in every movement.

@manusnake91 I've been trying to figure out what your comment means..... can you explain?!??! im so confused

He can't show the final because it's up against a mirror

Check out my other videos. I actually draw with both of my hands at the same time.

can you say stencils?

[mos667]

Stencils!

Well I have thought about using stencils and spray paint cans in both hands (or brushes, or toothpaste...) I just do this off the top of my head. It's kind of a dance where my right hand leads and my left follows but it's entirely spontaneous with both hands drawing at the same time.

Notice how his shadow is past the paper in the background and it's still on the paper in the foreground? That's impossible with a mirror. Sorry to disappoint you, but he's really doing it.

@try4ndf1nds0m3c0v3r Look at the shadows...

@mos667 Death the Kid is an anime character that obsesses over symmetry. He's from the show Soul Eater.

And now onto the video. It's really cool. As I've told my friends, you make people think twice before taking up drawing just because you make it look so easy when in fact we all know it's shopped XD

@try4ndf1nds0m3c0v3r with 1 shadow?

[platinumlance]

@mos667 i know this is a bit late, but its a reference to a really cool (but short) anime called Soul Eater. It's comedy/action based and one of the main characters 'Death the Kid' (son of the reaper) has a crippling OCD dealing with bilateral symmetry and perfection. your awesomeness would make him wet his pants.
