Format:Paperback
As in the first two editions of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", Dr. Betty Edwards once more presents the beginning student of drawing with that same seemingly impossible task: copy a Picasso sketch. . .upside down!
And thus begins the journey into that part of the brain that most of us didn't know exists, the artistic genius within us all. True to her scientific approach to teaching the basics of drawing, Dr. Edwards updates her twice-before best-seller with over 50% new material based on recent research into the workings of the human brain. Some lessons are moved around and to her list of the 5 basic skills that make up realistic drawing (perception of edges; negative space; relationships; light and shadow; and of the whole) Dr. Edwards adds 2 more: memory and imagination.
Perhaps most telling are the "before and after" illustrations showing how much one can learn in just a few days of instruction and diligent practice. The obviously painful, labored scrawls of adults discouraged from drawing since childhood sit next to drawings that exude confidence and ease. The reader is amazed when he or she can look upon a similar pair of images produced in the first few days of reading the book.
Amazingly, the paperback cover price of this most recent edition is a single dollar more than the 1989 cover price. Consider it a bargain.

I purchased this book as soon as I was able to, and have been astounded by the results. I have always wanted to draw, but never been able to, but this book enabled me to tap into something that changed that.
I thoroughly recommend this.

Forcing realistic drawing
This book is somehow controversial. It teaches people who can't draw at all how to succeed in producing realistic drawings. And obviously many do. Read more

Improving on the best!
It's been 20 years since the first "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" came out. My copy of the book is so dog-eared, it looks like it is 50, not 20, years old! Read more
