This was a great book to understand how art is critical to balancing the operation of your brain from left and right brain。 Game changer for me。

Basically, this book is pretty long and hard to understand but still readable so for the better enjoyment and rating and these all of things I know that It's take time to create the book but doesn't really make the audience interest in。 Basically, this book is pretty long and hard to understand but still readable so for the better enjoyment and rating and these all of things I know that It's take time to create the book but doesn't really make the audience interest in。 。。。more

Before I read this book, if someone came up to me and said: “Anybody can draw” - I wouldn’t have believed it。 Now I do。 It is fascinating to learn the intertwined relationship between different modes our brain operates and how drawing lets you explore it as much as language does on other mode。 Just as one can learn how to read and be able to read anything in their life, learning the fundamentals components of drawing elevates your visual perception at a whole new level!

Judith Greer

Amazing book!

John Covington

great way to learn to drawI am trying to teach myself to draw and this book has been invaluable, I can see real improvement just by working through the chapters of this book

Ranette

This book helped me learn to draw and my 5 grade students loved the activities。

Alvie Yashka

Pretend you can only read one book of this topic。 This is the book to read, if you want to learn to draw or improve your drawing。

Tell Tale Books

An excellent book for artists to help you see the world more clearly and reproduce it accurately in your work。-Gregory Kerkman

Nickolay Moshkin

Amazing book。 Absolutely loved it。 Joy to do drawing exercises。 Upon second review, not really too much improvement vs initial drawings for the majority of people - once you read the book, and then check the before and after drawings from Edwards’ website, you clearly see that the best post- come from the best prior-, and vice versa。 Practice and further development are required after reading this book for the real impact on your drawing skills。

My mom encouraged me to use this book to learn to draw along with my daughter, who is an aspiring artist。 We started it together in August of this year, and within just two months I went from "I could never learn to draw" to "wow, this is by far my favorite hobby I've ever had"。 The book not only helps anyone learn to draw, but it changes the way you look at the world。 I highly recommend chasing down the accompanying workbook if you want to get the most out of it。 I fully plan to circle back and My mom encouraged me to use this book to learn to draw along with my daughter, who is an aspiring artist。 We started it together in August of this year, and within just two months I went from "I could never learn to draw" to "wow, this is by far my favorite hobby I've ever had"。 The book not only helps anyone learn to draw, but it changes the way you look at the world。 I highly recommend chasing down the accompanying workbook if you want to get the most out of it。 I fully plan to circle back and re-read the text like I am reading a good non-fiction book after I've completed all the workbook with my daughter。 。。。more

i like it :) five stars 4 you!

Forse il manuale di disegno più famoso del mondo。。。 Con me non ha funzionato, non ho notato particolari progressi se non quelli dovuti ad una normale pratica costante。 Il libro gravita quasi completamente sul ritratto, che a me non interessa; l'autrice insiste nel dire che non sia un corso sul ritratto, ma che studiare le modalità del ritratto serva per disegnare anche altro。 Però dice anche che il ritratto sia una bella parte del disegno, sottintendendo che piaccia un po' a tutti。 Io ho faticat Forse il manuale di disegno più famoso del mondo。。。 Con me non ha funzionato, non ho notato particolari progressi se non quelli dovuti ad una normale pratica costante。 Il libro gravita quasi completamente sul ritratto, che a me non interessa; l'autrice insiste nel dire che non sia un corso sul ritratto, ma che studiare le modalità del ritratto serva per disegnare anche altro。 Però dice anche che il ritratto sia una bella parte del disegno, sottintendendo che piaccia un po' a tutti。 Io ho faticato a terminare gli esercizi, che ho trovato noiosi。 Di sicuro non mi ha fatto venir voglia di disegnare, e già questo mi pare un mezzo fallimento。 。。。more

good

I could not finish this book, having lost interest in the practical aspect of arranging materials and actually starting to draw。 My loss!

This book is a must-read for artists and art educators alike。 Though I am an experienced artist, reading this book helped me to understand my process and make changes to be more efficient。

Honestly just a great resource if you want to learn how to draw

Harry Chapman

A very good start if you are thinking about picking up drawing。A few short points: - The language and tasks in the opening chapters are very motivating and will get you believing that you really can be good at drawing (and you can); - Ignore the people who can't think in terms of metaphor and so ridicule the semi-physiological nature of the book; - It does a great job of introducing the few key foundational skills of drawing and getting you in the habit of using them; - However it is not compreh A very good start if you are thinking about picking up drawing。A few short points: - The language and tasks in the opening chapters are very motivating and will get you believing that you really can be good at drawing (and you can); - Ignore the people who can't think in terms of metaphor and so ridicule the semi-physiological nature of the book; - It does a great job of introducing the few key foundational skills of drawing and getting you in the habit of using them; - However it is not comprehensive, supplement this with something more textbook-y that will have a granular technique/subject-based approach。 。。。more

This is a wonderful book, it's explanations of left brain verses right brain opened up a whole neew trail of thought for me, not just about my artwork and how I see things, but about brain function。 I have finished the book but plan on practicing the exercises over and over again。 I think it a good read for all artists。 This is a wonderful book, it's explanations of left brain verses right brain opened up a whole neew trail of thought for me, not just about my artwork and how I see things, but about brain function。 I have finished the book but plan on practicing the exercises over and over again。 I think it a good read for all artists。 。。。more

This book feels more like success/self-help book than a book that should teach you to draw。 Don't get me wrong, there is decent amount of drawing exercises and there are a few insights that made me say: oh, I would never though of that。。。 BUT I hate the style in which this book is written。 Really, strongly hate。I guess this is my angry Left side of a brain is speaking :) This book feels more like success/self-help book than a book that should teach you to draw。 Don't get me wrong, there is decent amount of drawing exercises and there are a few insights that made me say: oh, I would never though of that。。。 BUT I hate the style in which this book is written。 Really, strongly hate。I guess this is my angry Left side of a brain is speaking :) 。。。more

This was a wholesome read for me years ago。 The intimate experience of the artist -he who draws- and his point of view, it's still a fertile subject, that could help a lot of people as a therapy, and just because it is FUN。The lateralization and asymmetry of our brain was a popular theme for the pop culture a couple decades ago, hence, the aversion academics felt for tackling it for a while –but since I've been getting in contact with the serious work of guys like Mcgilchrist, I've thinking that This was a wholesome read for me years ago。 The intimate experience of the artist -he who draws- and his point of view, it's still a fertile subject, that could help a lot of people as a therapy, and just because it is FUN。The lateralization and asymmetry of our brain was a popular theme for the pop culture a couple decades ago, hence, the aversion academics felt for tackling it for a while –but since I've been getting in contact with the serious work of guys like Mcgilchrist, I've thinking that it's due time to renovate out relationship with the good intentions behind books like this one of Betty Edwards。Edwards' work encapsulates a lot of potential for self-transformation (through sensibility and even flow) to anybody who has in check his or her arrogance。 Hybris is a POISON for souls in general, but since I myself am artist and I've seen my struggle and the struggle of others from VERY close, I would say that [pride] it is, even more, for those who dare to transit the beautiful path towards drawing and art。 Perfection is the enemy of the good。 And what's good seems to me as the only way to excellence。I see Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, as an antidote to that kind of soberbia that makes people blind to the beauty of our world。 It rehabilitates the atrophy of the "artistic muscle" we all used to had and that most of us stop developing at 11 years old。 。。。more
