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."
Still a classic This book is still effective in teaching drawing. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning to draw or in improving their abilities. This book is throughough and helpful. Betty Edwards is straight-forward and clear in her instructions. I saw an immediate improvement in my drawing skills. Try it, you won't believe it.
Great book. Very helpful. I'm about halfway through the book and am doing all of the exercises. The biggest challenge is finding uninterrupted time to sit and draw. I've always wanted to be able to draw and I am pleased with my progress so far. Thank you, Betty Edwards!
Great Book I'm enjoying going through the exercises, and I plan to take a week long class using this book soon. I would HIGHLY recommend it!
Just a warning Whether or not this is helpful my biggest problem with the book is the nude/pornographic drawings in it. It would be refreshing to have an art book that is just pure, clean drawings without having to deal with these kind of drawings.
So you think you can't draw? If you think you can't draw, just get this book and workbook and learn how. Betty Edwards presents an excellent process of learning to see - in order to draw. Get this combo and start drawing today.
