Book Reviews of The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Book Review: Excellent for People Who Say I CANT DRAW!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know why the neg reviewers on here are bowing down to The "Natural Way to Draw," like it was written by some genius guru. There's a reason "Natural Way to Draw" is listed waaay down on the Amazon rank (almost 5,000 down) compared to this book, "New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" .... meh.
If you tell yourself any of these things, this book is for you:
* I can't draw
* I can barely draw stick people
* I wish I could draw
* I wish I were artistic
(etc etc)
If you think you've ALREADY developed some natural talent and are trying to hone your skills, consider skipping this book and picking up "Natural Way to Draw" by Nicolaides.
Let's put it this way:
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain = Complete Noob to drawing
Natural Way to Draw = Noob v 2.0
Summary of The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
illustrated with 12-page color photo insert and line art throughoutA 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."
