 A Useful Companion to the Book Itself March 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This Workbook is a companion to The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and is a useful accompaniment to the book itself. It is spiral-bound so it lays flat and is easy to draw on, includes one drawing sheet for each exercise, and VERY usefully, includes a plastic "viewing pane" as recommended in the book.
One slight drawback (for me -- maybe an advantage for some) is that it repeats instructions for all the exercises in the main textbook itself, and includes fewer supplementary exercises than I had hoped. Also, with only one drawing sheet for each exercise you're probably going to want to buy a drawing pad anyway.
All in all, I highly recommend you buy "The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" book first, try a few exercises, and if you like them and see progress, then buy the "Workbook". (You won't need the viewing pane until later exercises).
All in all, a worthwhile investment if the book seems to be helping you.

I expected something more and insightful than the original book but it's pretty much the same thing. The book could actually be half its thickness since half of it is blank pages where you're supposed to draw.
 some overlap from her other books, still a great book February 3, 2008

Yes there is some overlap from her previous books, it's still a great book. I went from drawing very poorly- and over 40 books that supposedly taught one how to draw- to using her text, and being able to turn out very high quality art, that is very satisfactory to me, and to others. I checked this book today because I am sending this book to a guy who works with poor children in Caracas, Venezuela, for his use. For what books and postage cost now, I would never waste my money on anything less than the best available.
Excellent book December 28, 2007

This book will teach even the poorest artist how to see and how to draw what you see. It is an excellent book. I would suggest it for anyone interested in learning how to draw. You do not have to have "talent" to learn the skill!
