I was challenged to draw a sacrum with my left hand in class the other day (which is my non-dominant hand). Even though my pen control was pretty stiff, the results were pretty staggering since I was still able to project my knowledge of the sacrum down on paper and it came out to be one of my better drawings for the day. It's an incredible reinforcement that drawing isn't so much about hand-eye coordination, but it's about what you already know/intellectually understand about the subject and interpreting it.
It's pretty crazy what we do in that class, hopefully I'll get to that point soon.
