Well it's not even that you're only using certain parts of your brain during certain activities, you use all of your brain at all times, even when sleeping. Certain areas of the brain have more activity when you're doing certain things, like you said drawing/artistic stuff, but the rest of your brain is still active as well. Brain imaging shows us this:
Brain scans have shown that no matter what one is doing, all brain areas are always active. Some areas are more active at any one time than others, but barring brain damage, there is no part of the brain that is absolutely not functioning.
So no matter what one is doing, we're using 100℅ of our brains.
What's really interesting to me is how the brain adapts. Using your example about the right hemisphere and art, we've seen many cases where people have brain damage to specific area's or literally missing parts of the brain responsible for art or whatever, and the brain finds ways to adapt, using the parts of the brain that is available to suddenly do these things.

in my defense for picking the brain pill, 10 % for me is high.
