Reader reviews for The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Review summary
Readers broadly report that the book delivers rapid, confidence-boosting gains in observational drawing by teaching beginners to "see" edges, negative space, and proportions through clear, step-by-step exercises. Many praise its accessibility for self-study and education and note a meditative, motivating effect. Critics, however, fault its heavy reliance on right–left brain rhetoric as outdated or pseudo-scientific and point to thin coverage of fundamentals like anatomy, perspective, and nuanced light and shadow. Overall, it’s widely viewed as an effective primer for novices and a reset for lapsed artists, but insufficient on its own for advanced or imaginative work.
