Drawing Books Reviewed!

Many different drawing books and other resources are available to help you learn and improve at drawing. In this area of the site, I'd like to take a look at a select few of these resources - ones I really think will aid in your artistic development.

Before you dive into any new resource though, there's something important to remember. No matter what you read and learn, ultimately - practicing what you learn is the key to improvement, and eventually -- success.

Take the lessons on this site for example. There are lots of neat little tips and tricks to take in. But with respect to your growth as an artist, I encourage you to use what you learn here and in turn - apply it to your own drawings. I often mention in the lessons... 'try doing this in a different way' or 'come up with some of your own ideas'. Mirroring success is certainly part of learning, but I really do feel - the true success comes with practicing what you learn, repeating, and in time - converting knowledge into a skill and establishing your own unique style.

Drawing Books So whether it be lessons and tips here, or ideas presented in drawing books or other resources, learn as much as you can, always remembering that you have the power to create anything you want to, in any way you want to!

Now, with respect to some of the resources I've come across, there's one book in particular that first comes to mind: 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' by Betty Edwards.

In it, Betty does a really nice job of encouraging the reader (drawer!) to get into that 'more creative mind set', and ultimately - think and draw outside the box.

And so, for some more info on Betty's book and others, have a look at the following...
