It seems to me like training to draw with both hands would be a good deterrent from CPS. You'd be splitting the workload among both hands so that you could rest one hand without slowing down your studies.
How am I wrong?

btw Da Vinci was ambidextrous
How does that work?can he think separately at the same time or does he need to pay attention at 1 for few sec and other again for few sec

The video is sped up really fast so it seems like he's drawing the faces simultaneously, but in reality that's not really possible. A single brain can only focus on one thing at one time.
That's why I don't think it would really make the drawing process faster, it would just take a lot of stress off of the dominant hand. It would probably help people appreciate and respect symmetry a lot more too.
What the hell is CPS?

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. There should be an open CPS general in the catalog that explains it in detail.

*CTS
CTS is a meme.

honestly it is. you're more likely to get it from assembly work. in fact the more you worry about CTS the more likely it is that your brain will trick you into thinking you have the symptoms, just because you're obsessing over it so much. look up psychosomatic pain.
you really should worry MUCH more about tendinosis. common, takes around a hundred days of no drawing to heal + physical therapy.
just take breaks and use your tools lightly, exercise your arms too. it would also be a good idea to use your non dominant hand for the mouse. it's also a nice way to ease into ambidexterity.

Its actually not that good of an idea.
Ambidextrous has its advantages, but it decreases your skill with a single hand as now its spread out over both. Its not a big deal, but technical differences will appear.
It also slows you down when you first start as your brain has to readjust to which hand is drawing as opposed to just picking it up automatically.
all in all it doesn't do much to prevent CTS so its not worthwhile if that's what you're going for.
