Default Gill and Carl, I blame you for this one

You two have been raving so much about the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain that I went and bought it today.
Maybe I'll finally progress beyond birds and cats, hehehe.

I know you wont regret it Kevin.
The book isnt so much about drawing as it is about observing. I really enjoy it.

I got it this weekend as well...

Did you all make your own viewfinder/crosshair setup or did you buy one?

I made my own, although they're not necessary at the outset.

Gees Bob, you're way ahead of me, don't give away the plot, LOL. I'm also in the middle of 2 Dean Koontz novels and am reading Duginske's bandsaw handbook after a little oops with my bandsaw.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a great book by Betty Edwards.

She has a new edition out now I am not sure what the difference is but here is her webpage

My current bedside reading is "The Boy Mechanic: 200 Classic Things to Build" which is a collection of ancient articles from Popular Mechanics magazine. The folding boat and the "house made from poles" have to be seen to be believed.

It really ought to be called: "Things for Carl Must Do"...
