This is a great book. It really takes the mystery out of drawing. It teaches you to takes the logical left-brain out of the picture (no pun intended). You learn to "unthink" like an artist.

I was fortunate to be able to use this as a textbook for a drawing course at Evening at Emory. The teacher took us systematically through the book as we completed virtually every exercise. I particularly liked the technique for drawing portraits. It really did lead to looking at the world in a different way.

I was required to read this for my sketching course. I loved it a lot. It was very interesting and really made me think about myself and how I think. Super good book. ( )

This should be THE only drawing book anyone ever buys. Edwards teaches how to see things as they really are as opposed to thinking what they are. ( )

I never got into this book in the same way that I did for the first edition. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0874774241, Paperback)

illustrated with 12-page color photo insert and line art throughout

A revised and expanded edition of the classic drawing-instruction book that has sold more than 2,500,000 copies.

When Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was first published in 1979, it hit the New York Times bestseller list within two weeks and stayed there for more than a year. In 1989, when Dr. Betty Edwards revised the book, it went straight to the Times list again. Now Dr. Edwards celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her classic book with a second revised edition.

Over the last decade, Dr. Edwards has refined her material through teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars. Truly The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this edition includes:

* the very latest developments in brain research;
* new material on using drawing techniques in the corporate world and in education;
* instruction on self-expression through drawing;
* an updated section on using color; and
* detailed information on using the five basic skills of drawing for problem solving.

Translated into thirteen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the world's most widely used drawing-instruction guide. People from just about every walk of life--artists, students, corporate executives, architects, real estate agents, designers, engineers--have applied its revolutionary approach to problem solving. The Los Angeles Times said it best: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is "not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing . . . should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates."
