Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A brand-new edition of the world's most widely used drawing instruction book, expanded and updated with more than 50 per cent new material.
If you enjoy sketching but feel you are stuck at a childlike level, this book will give you the drawing skills you have always wanted. If you are already drawing as a professional artist or artist-in-training, it will give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen your artistic perception.
This new edition of a classic handbook contains detailed advice on how to draw anything you want - including ways to step from black-and-white into colour - but also exploits recent developments in brain research to show how drawing techniques can be put to good use in the corporate world, in education, and even in problem-solving.
Since it first appeared more than 20 years ago, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain has taught millions of people to draw. It can work for you, too.
