Not only is he not left handed due to the guy on the cover not being Artorias, standard sword and shield technique requires the shield to be held in your left hand to efficiently block attacks coming from your left, which is your opponents right, since most combatants are right handed. It simply isn't practical to block an attack from your left by bringing a shield across from your right, and considering Artorias is a knight of Gwyn, I personally don't think someone of such a rank would make an elementary mistake like that.

Also, since we know for a fact that Fromsoftware did their research when it came to melee combat, I think we can assume that they wouldn't make this mistake either.

Going off topic, he might be ambidextrous, because, you know, that IS a thing.
