Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (book)

"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards is a teaching method that helps individuals unlock their natural, intuitive drawing abilities by engaging the brain's right hemisphere. The book emphasizes shifting focus from analytical, language-based thinking (left brain) to visual, perceptual skills (right brain). Through specific exercises, it guides learners to see shapes, proportions, and spatial relationships more accurately, ultimately improving their drawing skills. The approach promotes firsthand perception, encouraging artists to observe closely and translate what they see onto paper with greater realism and confidence.
