work through 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'

I had almost forgotten about this one, but then my husband got me the book for Xmas. Need to make some time for it soon.

I put them on Flickr, and linked it to 43things. I’ve never taken lessons, but I have attempted to improve my drawing skill now and then over the years. I used to read “how to draw” books as a teen and preteen quite a bit, although I never took any formal art lessons.

I think having a little bit of drawing ability has actually been a drawback in using this method, since it makes me impatient, and it makes the improvement more difficult for me to see. Ms. Edwards is right about the fact that you remain very critical of yourself despite your improvement. I find myself wanting to skip exercises, thinking “I already draw what I see,” but I think the main thing hindering me is my impatience, and the fact that I do not take enough time with my drawings.

Hm. Writing that has helped. I think I’m going to go back and do some exercises I either skipped or glossed over with minimal effort earlier.
