Drawing Creatively - by Brent Eviston (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

What separates someone who can draw from someone who truly creates?

Drawing Creatively answers that question. Acclaimed art educator Brent Eviston -- author of the best-selling The Art & Science of Drawing -- moves beyond technique to explore the heart of artistic expression. Through five studio-tested projects, Eviston guides readers toward genuine creative discovery by unlocking imagination, personal meaning, and artistic voice. Visually rich and endlessly browsable, this book rewards even those who never pick up a pencil.

Some drawing experience is helpful, but not required. What is required: curiosity.

The projects:

- The Creative Sketchbook: Build a private laboratory of ideas, free from judgment

- Creature Collage: Cut up symbolic drawings and recombine them into mythic hybrid beings

- The Pareidolia Project: Find hidden figures in crumpled paper and draw them to life

- Question Collages: Turn meaningful questions into layered text-and-image art

- Paper Theaters: Discover how drawings can transcend the page and how imagination can inhabit the physical world

Pulling from Eviston's bestselling creativity course, Drawing Creatively will help readers improve their drawing skills and enhance their creativity while inspiring them to expand how they view themselves, the world, and their place within it.
