Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

Book is excellent.

Great

A bit hard to conceive but once you get the hang of it, it'll take you lengths that you wouldn't have imagined you are capable of. Though it is recommended that you go through a few other drawing books after this like, Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson or Drawing for the Absolute Beginner by Mark and Mary Willenbrink.I got it for 396 INR. Better wait for a price drop.

I don't get the good reviews. This book's style and heavy use of pseudo-scientific, wrong and outdated arguments about the brain reminds me of those courses that miraculously want to teach you perfect pitch.It takes around a 100 pages of making the same point in different phrasings before the author starts teaching you something, and again, the instructions remain interspersed with quotes about how their workshop is great and more pseudo-science about how you should truly perceive.Waste of time and money.

Good book to help you get started drawing

Este é um livro fundamental para quem não só aprender a desenhar, mas como a mente funciona, quando se agarra num lapis

I've been wanting to learn to draw for a while. It's been on my list of things to do in my spare time for a while, but I never got round to it. I was initially looking for actually classes that had a teacher as I felt this would be the best way to develop quickly. I never got round to doing that.When the pandemic hit, I found myself spending a lot more time indoors and my wish to learn to draw came back. I initially browsed for recommendations on the net and watched some YouTube videos, but realised I lacked a lot of fundamental ability, so I felt the deep and steady approach of learning to draw via a book would be the best route.I eventually ended up on this book, which I believe it was on a list of 'must-read' books for budding artists, and I duly started reading it. I was pleased that it starts from zero and assumes little in your drawing ability, and it takes you to something much more accomplished. It's a good mix of theory and practical; the theory is backed up by rigorous research with university professors, the practical from the author's years of experience as an artist and in teaching art. It's quite interesting to read even if you're not interested in learning to draw; there it a lot of knowledge shared about left vs. right brain thinking which is something I was vaguely aware of before but this book helped crystalise that knowledge.This is an age where we are always 'on' consuming content in all forms. The knowledge contained in this book is an antidote to the modern day ailment of being unable to switch off.
