I've read it before and I didn't know it. Funny story: I had this book several years ago, and I just assumed that this would be a recent version or edition. I don't have that book handy – the first one – because I have moved to a smaller place and it is in storage. So funny me - I bought the version I already had before so I could compare it with this supposed newer version? So I thought. Well because the link didn't work to go to the Amazon page where this book is located, and since I saw no reviews on what I thought was the older book's page, I now have three copies of the same book ha ha. It's just as well because this book makes a perfect gift for anyone starting out in the art world.Drawing skills are a essentials, and they come before anyone even thinks of doing any painting. I think that is why a book like this, covering a method of drawing as with right brain and left brain to learn the basics and the tricks of drawing well, would be such a complicated book. I've rarely seen a painting book that is this detailed. I do have them, I would like to find them, because attention to detail – as with drawing and painting hands – is so important and difficult to learn for the first time.I've been in and out of the art scene for over 25 years, and I am not what I would consider an artist. However, because of books like this, (and videos) I merrily walked into a watercolor class for the first time the other day and painted better than almost anyone in the class. It really surprised me. I took informal classes for six months about 3 years ago - at a YMCA where a member who is an artist and teacher decided to teach in a spare room. She was really rude to me haha but I did learn some, just nothing like what I just painted. I've only have the basics of training. Most of my expertise is in Photoshop. In Photoshop the are tools for perspective and symmetry. Just reading this book as a review has refreshed my memory about my drawing days. I think it is an important distinction to make that I am doing digital art most of the time anyway. Somehow, book and video learning in traditional drawing and painting has helped me translate skills into digital painting. Not so with digital painting books I have read where it is assumed you need to learn the software from the very beginning, but still assume you are already a painter. Learning the drawing must come first, so I've been told. Though I don't have any formal training in drawing or painting, and I've really studied about and practiced painting AND drawing at the same time, books such as this one are so handy to have so we can review the basics along with the added concept of left versus right brain thinking regarding drawing skills.So for me, it is more of a reference, and I highly recommend this book as a gift to a young person just starting out in the art world. It is a precious classic for a reason. The techniques are solid and classical. This book covers drawing from so many different perspectives that I find it hard to believe anyone would read this, practice with this book, and come away empty-handed. In fact, I would expect the best of results of course varying from person to person.Classical artists have been using most of these techniques for thousands of years. The right brain left brain drawing concept isn't new because this author has been writing updates and additions on this book for many years. I'd be surprised if many artists are not familiar with it.I get the feeling that this is an underutilized gem. And I am happy to review it – again – ha ha :-).I have a new grandbaby, as my very mature son just had his first child. You can bet that she will get all of my art books. And her mother, already likes this one, because she gave a copy to me years ago. Instinctively, I was able to draw from the get-go, but to do it well – I have seen very few people accomplish that without some instruction. We are talking about perspective, composition, negative space, positive space, drawing with grids, using pencils and other tools for measurement when doing what I would consider to be live drawing, and more. So many people these days use photos as reference; and even then, one can benefit from the good old grid. There aren't too many projects in this book really, unless you decide that you want to practice after every lesson or chapter. This is the way to really get value here.I can still use this book right now, because in painting I am having trouble with foreshortening, which is drawing something at certain angles in perspective where the front needs to be drawn differently from the part farthest away, and you can only draw what you see as if it is the front of my hand in front of my other fingers and so on - as I understand it. I could never afford, nor could I manage a fine art degree, but darn it, I am doing pretty well just the same.The reason why I am not explaining the left brain right brain concept. which is the cornerstone of this book, is because for me it is very confusing. I get dyslexia every time I try to think about the different brain hemispheres. So please don't get me wrong; I am not discounting this sort of learning concept; I am simply saying that this book is just great on its own merits despite my not being able to understand the "different from the norm" concept within this particular classic.This book is very well diagramed, and much can be learned by looking at images/drawings; for example, a drawing of the ocean, showing how the ripples are smaller and closer together as they recede up to the horizon line; just as when I am challenged with a landscape, it helps to know the relationship between one part and the other, since I didn't grow up observing so well how nature works. Most artists I've talked to have been observing nature in a detailed and specific way most of their lives. This is not to say that no one will not be able to learn how to draw or paint really well instinctively, but it is rare. I am saying this to demonstrate how important it is to know these concepts from a book like this to get familiar with them. Or to just be introduced to them.I am just as pleased to have a reunion with this book as I was to find that after three years of not painting with watercolor, I was able to do a landscape very well in watercolor when I didn't ever learn to before . Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Artist Should Read! *by P***R on May 11, 2025* As an artist, I can't believe I did without this book! Recently recommended by a renowned artist, I finally ordered it. There are so many scientific, proven & emotional aspects to recognizing how we see images. Writing is excellent, understandable, and nurturing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just magical *by J***T on April 18, 2025* In one week I went from only being able to draw stick figures to self portraits that look realistic.
