Recommendation: Using a non-dominant hand while coloring, is the best way to bring balance to our right and left brain. Our left brain is the logical brain and the right brain is the creative brain. In most cases, in right-handed people, the logical brain or the left brain is more active. When the right or creative brain is equally active then we start getting innovative ideas, intuitions that help us to do smart work as well as increases our decision-making skills. So, it is highly recommended to try out the coloring process, using your non-dominant hand. It will help you to bring out the genius within you.
