Description
The sequel to the multi-million bestseller Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
From the author of the world's most popular drawing instruction manual, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this new book helps you discover a new way of drawing and problem solving.
Betty Edwards reveals the role our dominant eye plays in how we perceive, create, and are seen by those around us. Research shows that much like being right-handed or left-handed, each of us has a dominant eye, corresponding to the dominant side of our brain—either verbal or perceptual. Once you learn the difference and try your hand at the simple drawing exercises, you'll gain fresh insights into how you perceive, think, and create. You'll learn how to not just look but truly see.
Generously illustrated throughout, Drawing on the Dominant Eye offers a remarkable guided tour through art history, psychology, and the creative process; a must-read for anyone looking for a richer understanding of our art, our minds, and ourselves.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
While reviews are primarily for Edwards' previous bestseller, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, they praise her work as transformative for artistic confidence and creativity. India Knight calls it "hands down the best and most life-enhancing thing I've done in lockdown," while the Independent and LA Times highlight its impact on creativity and consciousness. This acclaim suggests that Drawing on the Dominant Eye offers similarly enriching insights.
