More About the Author
Product Description
Review
‘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.’ Los Angeles Times
Product Description
A brand-new edition of the world’s most widely used drawing instruction book, expanded and updated with more than 50 per cent new material.
If you enjoy sketching but feel stuck at a childlike level, this classic handbook will give you the drawing skills you have always wanted. If you are already drawing as a professional artist, it will improve your confidence and deepen your artistic perception. As well as giving detailed advice on how to draw anything you want – including ways to step from black-and-white into colour – Edwards exploits recent developments in brain research to show how drawing skills can be used in the corporate world, in education, and even in problem-solving.
Since it first appeared more than 20 years ago, this book has helped millions of people perfect their drawing skills. It can work for you, too.

Excellently written, you can draw within hours - seriously,

This review is from: The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (Paperback)
I bought this book in February 2002 and started applying the techniques on 6 Feb. At first I was sceptical, but after doing the exercises (upside-down drawing, negative space et cetera)I decided to do a drawing every day. Within three weeks I had copied exactly the picture of Stravinsky by Picasso, sketched hands which look real. The book is unbelievable, really. Betty Edwards unravels any mystique that you previously thought existed in art. It was so good I've bought one for a friend and will buy another in September for another friend's birthday. It is not about practise it is about connecting shapes. Read it and see!

Amazing! I was astounded.,

This review is from: The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (Paperback)
I am a painter but my drawing is something else entirely. (I have managed with basic outlines and leaving out details) but draw as many other adults do like a child.My friend lent the book to me because she knows I paint. Although it held no interest to me initially (because I can't draw) I thought I would read it. The trick is not to learn how to draw with this book. The trick is to SEE by turning of the left side of your brain which usually tells you what you think you are seeing. This is easier than it sounds with some simple tricks to fool your brain into letting the right side do the work. Highly recommended. I only wish I could show you my before and after drawings.

nothing short of miraculous!,

This review is from: The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (Paperback)
Before I read this book the extent of my drawing prowess was badly drawn stick people. Within a couple of days, having learned to turn off my extremely dominant left brain, I was drawing unbelievably well. Through this book I have discovered that I too can draw, and it has given me a hobby which is not only enriching but life enhancing. I cannot recommend this book too highly! If you buy it you really won't be disappointed.
