The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

*The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain* by Betty Edwards explores how drawing is fundamentally a skill rooted in the right hemisphere of the brain, which processes spatial and visual information. The book offers exercises that help people shift from their usual left-brain mode—focused on labels and details—to a more perceptual, right-brain approach. This enables clearer observation and more accurate drawing of objects. Essentially, the book teaches that anyone can improve their drawing by training their brain to see the world differently, unlocking their innate visual-spatial abilities.
