Book Reviews of The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

not much drawing instruction

The first thing Betty Edwards tells us (in the preface): she was not trained as an educator. Consequently, she met with great frustration trying to teach her high school students to draw. What did she do? Write a long-winded, theoretical book about why it is so hard to teach people to draw.

You are, perhaps, a person who has tried to draw but felt frustrated because you have not gotten good training or instruction.

Option 1: use this book = spend a lot of time reading, not much time drawing, end up with lots of excuses why drawing is so hard.

Option 2: use Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson (a skilled instructor) = read a little, draw a lot, watch your skills grow, feel happy doing what you love to do, forget drawing was once difficult and frightening.

Teaches you how to think when drawing

This book not only teaches you how to think (and not think) when drawing, but also teaches you the techniques to draw. In short, it teaches the approach and the techniques. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain works on the premise that the right side of the brain is more suited for drawing, and teaches you how to engage it for drawing purposes. The different chapters are on contour drawings, negative space, sighting, portrait drawings, colors, light and shadow. At the end is an additional chapter on handwriting art. There are easy step-by-step exercises to follow along. Results will be visible but all the exercises must be done. Perfection requires more practice, of course. The techniques can be easily applied to challenging tasks like drawing foreshortening or a realistic portrait. This is the book my art teacher used to teach us when I was in my early teens. It's actually got some good ideas in there, with a lot of jargon that I didn't understand (and didn't really care to, you don't miss much). Looking back, I appreciate some of the lessons I learned from it. Even if you think you can't draw, give this a chance! Forget that you think all your drawings look like a kid's, and try it, it really was good for me.

Playing with your Right Brain

Wonderful book for novices picking up a pencil and drawing paper the first time ever. The book is very easy to understand and the instructions are very clear. I was totally blown away by what I could draw after the first few chapters. This text is especially helpful for any analysts, scientists, or engineers who want to engage thier more creative right brain. The book helps you break free from your left brain and enjoy the playful creative right hemisphere. I am 1/2 way through the book and totally enjoying it. I intend to follow up with an art class.
