A

revised edition of the classic bestselling how to draw book. A life-changing

book, this fully revised and updated edition of Drawing on the Right Side of

the Brain is destined to inspire generations of readers and artists to

come.

Translated into more than seventeen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of

the Brain is the world's most widely used instructional drawing book. Whether

you are drawing as a professional artist, as an artist in training, or as a

hobby, this book will give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen

your artistic perception, as well as foster a new appreciation of the world

around you. This revised/updated fourth edition includes:

• a new introduction;

• crucial updates based on recent research on the brain's plasticity and the

enormous value of learning new skills/ utilizing the right hemisphere of the

brain;

• new focus on how the ability to draw on the strengths of the right

hemisphere can serve as an antidote to the increasing left-brain emphasis in

American life-the worship of all that is linear, analytic, digital,

etc.;

• an informative section that addresses recent research linking early

childhood ""scribbling"" to later language development and the

importance of parental encouragement of this activity;

• and new reproductions of master drawings throughout
