The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards

3.0

I was impressed at first by the book, and I certainly have seen some improvement in my drawing but I think that after I read some critical reviews of the author and how "it is just copying" I became discouraged and became to find fault with the book. I don't disregard it because I have seen myself draw a few things that I never thought I could manage. However, when I'm not doing the specific exercises my drawing is no where near the quality of what the book claimed I should see. I suppose though the idea is to take what I have managed to learn and add new skills from other artists. But, I still don't feel that I actually can draw.
