THE NEW DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN
This book is by Betty Edwards. She tells us that we do not have to have a special talent to draw. Betty says that drawing is a skill that can be learned by every normal person. If you can write legibly-she assures--you have the dexterity to draw. The first step is to learn how to see in the special way used by artists. For this, there are drawing exercises.
Finally, you must draw every day. Keep a sketchbook handy and sketch anything. As you are having your cup of coffee in the morning, grab your sketchbook and draw a cup, a coffee pot, a spoon, a chair or a person. You must exercise your artist vision so you don't get out of shape. Otherwise, your drawings will tend to look childish.
If you want to improve your drawing skills, this book will definitely show you how you to achieve your goals.
