What books are you using? I have some artist friends who swear by "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," but I think the way things work varies for everyone.

> I'm in the early left-brain-right-brain section with little patience for the metaphor of separate functionality. Haha, the whole left-brain-logical/right-brain-creative thing annoys the hell out of me too. I used to draw though, and I remember that book being fairly useful to my learning. I remember its main lesson being "draw what you see, not what you think you see", and I still think it's fantastic advice. It's too easy to put lines on paper without challenging the assumption that those lines are the same as the lines you're looking at.
