This new edition of the hugely popular and influential drawing manual first published over 30 years ago incorporates new findings from neuroscience, like the discovery of brain plasticity, together with the tried-and-true exercises included in past editions. Edwards (art, emerita, California State Univ., Long Beach) explains the value of accessing the brain's more creative right hemisphere and has isolated five perceptual skills readers can develop to begin harnessing their right brain power to improve their drawing. She makes a strong case that these exercises will improve not only practitioners' realistic drawing capabilities but their perceptual and general problem-solving skills as well. VERDICT This fascinating read is recommended.
