A revised and expanded edition of the classic drawing-instruction book that has sold more than 2,500,000 copies.
When Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was first published in 1979, it hit the New York Times bestseller list within two weeks and stayed there for more than a year. In 1989, when Dr. Betty Edwards revised the book, it went straight to the Times list again. Now Dr. Edwards celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her classic book with a second revised edition.
Over the last decade, Dr. Edwards has refined her material through teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars. Truly The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this edition includes:
* the very latest developments in brain research;
* new material on using drawing techniques in the corporate world and in education;
* instruction on self-expression through drawing;
* an updated section on using color; and
* detailed information on using the five basic skills of drawing for problem solving.
Translated into thirteen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the world's most widely used drawing-instruction guide. People from just about every walk of life--artists, students, corporate executives, architects, real estate agents, designers, engineers--have applied its revolutionary approach to problem solving. The Los Angeles Times said it best: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is "not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing . . . should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates."

I have been an artist for 30 years. I was researching other drawing books to use for teaching. When I came across this book, I realized that most of the steps in this book are what I was taught throughout my college training at art school. I have been using this book to teach a group of highschool students. It has proven to be a good source to help anyone develope the ability to draw.

I've always considered myself a "left brain" thinker who loves art but had thought myself incapable of drawing. I purchased this book on a whim - and have been utterly amazed by the progress I've made. I know this book works well for total beginners. The author's student samples, and early exercises, are confidence builders - and I personally like the mixture of her own art, student artwork, and drawings of recognized artists (including very early Van Gogh as he was learning to draw.)
Hurray for Betty Edwards!
