I just fell and broke right wrist in two places. I was on a roll sketching every day and using colored pencils. I’ve thought about trying everything with my left hand when I’m out of soooo much pain I do water colors and acrylics so I’m game to do anything.

I had my left arm in a sling for six weeks a year or so ago, but I was able to keep up with my GUT assignments. Turns out it was easier than I thought it would be to paint wrong-handed. The drawing was pretty funny, but the painting, which required much less fine control they way I do it, came out rather well for a rank beginner. I’m pretty proud of some of those sketches. So don’t despair, just roll with it. And I hope you mend fast.
Ouch! I did the same thing several years ago and broke my left wrist bones and I’m left handed. I suggest you get playful with your non dominant hand and pretend you are in 1st grade again learning to print. And write backwards too, like Leonardo. And draw a giraffe. 🦒
And practice all the rehab exercises to get your full mobility back in your right wrist. Best wishes for your healing!❤️🩹
There's research out now that shows that exercising the non-injured limb helps with mobility and strengthening the injured limb.
This makes me wonder of drawing with the non-dominant hand, and seeing improvement over time, will positively impact drawing with the dominant hand when you are healed.

So sorry for your broken wrist. Heal well.

How interesting!!
Have you ever tried holding the pencil between your toes? It can yield some pretty interesting results!
What?! Really? Haha. This sounds difficult. And fun, especially if it’s a choice. May try it.
Ouch! Hope you heal well and feel better soon.
