Millions of people have learned to draw using the methods of Dr. Betty Edwards. Now, in an essential companion to her bestselling classic, Edwards offers readers the key to mastering this art form: guided practice in their newfound creative abilities.
Here are forty new exercises that cover each of the five basic skills of drawing. Each practice session includes a brief explanation and instructional drawings, suggestions for materials, sample drawings, and blank pages for the reader's own drawings. Also provided in this spiral-bound workbook is a pullout viewfinder, a crucial tool for effective practice. While The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain focused primarily on portrait drawing with pencil, this workbook gives readers experience in various subject matter -- still life, landscape, imaginative drawing -- using alternative mediums such as pen and ink, charcoal, and conte crayon.
For all those who are taking a drawing class, who have already received instruction through a book or course, or who prefer to learn by doing, this volume of carefully structured "homework" offers the perfect opportunity to reinforce and improve their skills and expand their repertoire.

An excellent DIY drawing / sketch book! Gives a brief pre-exercise rundown, then the exercise explained very clearly and, for some of them, a follow-up brief tutorial.
It's not for landscape / water colour / oils types, but for the sketcher. It makes one look at things differently and it helps one to visually flatten out three dimensional material so it becomes sketchable.
A very pleasing investment for the practical beginner. As its title says it's a "drawing" book - my initial self portrait looks like Dorian Gray in the attic. Further into the course I hope to become the Dorian Gray portrait in his living room!
A decent companion piece to the 'Drawing on the right side of the brain' book, but by no means as necessary as the book itself. Whilst this is a nice piece to have, I would not get it without first getting the book and having a good read through - as it is that one that has the real instruction.
This book has absorbing exercises which are fun to follow. For me, the practicing of the theory of right hand drawing does seem to work. I have gone from not having a clue how to begin drawing to actually producing a recognisable picture. I would recommend this book.
