I have it as reference for teaching. If you already understand and
utilise effectively the basic principles governing proportion, line,
tone, shape etc. in terms of representational, observation-based
drawing, I don't think Betty Edwards' exercises will do any more than
give you warm-up exercises. But for anyone still grappling with
these drawing processes they're brilliant. The major lesson they
teach people is to acknowledge that we see what we think we know, and
learning to draw what you see is largely a process of learning to see
abstractly, with 'clean slate' eyes.
In my opinion.

Hello,
I am new to this research network but not new to drawing.
Does anyone have or use 'The New Drawing on the Right Side of the
Brain' by Betty Edwards + the workbook as a point of reference?
Would you recommend it's excercises/instructions as a way to improve
or is it more for people starting to learn how to draw?
Thanks for your time.
