5.0 out of 5 stars What an awakening of new consciousness!, 7 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Drawing on the Artist within: An Inspirational and Practical Guide to Increasing Your Creative Powers (Paperback)
I read this book as an optional "Directed Reading" for a course in Creative Problem-Solving with the University of Oklahoma. It is ironic that I had just completed all six of Frank Herbert's Dune novels just before beginning Drawing with all its exercises. My first thought was, "This is truly 'BeneGesserit' stuff!" The author guides the reader into total participation with the material and helps one to coax that much-suppressed "right brain" mode of perception and comprehension into awareness--and it is truly revelatory of the richness of one's immediate world which normally remains unexplored. Amazing it is, too, how one's skill in writing in images (i.e., drawing) improves with full interaction with the book. This is a good read, one which I suggest for those who would like to increase their awareness of the world around them and who would like to recapture some of the childlike wonder at the universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book that made the difference., 21 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Drawing on the Artist within: An Inspirational and Practical Guide to Increasing Your Creative Powers (Paperback)
Until "Drawing on the Artist Within" I was simply sketching for fun. Once I put into practice the things that Betty Edwards teaches I now make my living as an artist. Thanks Betty

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 18 Jun 2011
Good book - working my way through this at the moment...I do think that this book will appeal to some and be disliked by others. All I can say is that I like it.
