SynopsisSEE like an artist, and draw like a pro! If you think you can't draw, it's all in your head. Every time you pick up a pencil, a battle rages between the two sides of your brain: Your analytical brain, which wants to generalize and take shortcuts; and your visual brain, which sees it like it is. This innovative guide helps the "good guy" always win! Following the success of his first book, Painting with Your Artist's Brain (North Light Books), Carl Purcell shows that the secret to creating true-to-life renderings--and overcoming the most common drawing problems--is silencing your bossy logical nature and letting your artistic side do what it does best. Thirteen interactive exercises and 10 step-by-step demonstrations lead you on an in-depth exploration of essential drawing skills: seeing values correctly searching for relationships of angle, size and position defining form with line and edge exploring the relationship between objects and space tying everything together with value patterns making the most of your sketchbook You'll take the same observation-based approach whether you're drawing a pear, a portrait or a landscape. No subject will be beyond your reach, and you'll be amazed at your sudden mastery of drawing!, SEE like an artist, and draw like a pro! If you think you can't draw, it's all in your head.

It is also an area that can be improved upon by most artists. While most drawing books provide methods for analyzing subjects and simplifying them into easily digestible forms for drawing, they don't address the most common problems the reader confronts or the skills he already possesses to overcome those problems. Drawing with Your Artist's Brain uses an interesting, unusual and proven approach to using what the reader already knows to become a better artist. More than twelve step-by-step drawing demonstrations, fifteen-plus "From the Artist's Brain" tip sidebars and multiple exercises, checklists and technique summaries are scattered throughout to help readers keep track of their artistic progress., SEE like an artist, and draw like a pro If you think you can't draw, it's all in your head.
