I absolutely love Drawing on the right side of the brain!
that's funny I was thinking 'I wish i knew the name of that one drawing book I tried that worked really well' but darned if I could recall. This is the book!!
The hands and upside down faces I drew from this book are probably the best hand drawn art I have ever made, it's a real one.
Definitely! That book taught me that drawing wasn't a magical skill for a few lucky people, but that anyone could do it
Yes! And also Drawing with Children
