<SNIP>ps... I also cite, and heartily reccomend a book called "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards.
I think this book is great beacause:
1) It tells you why you can't draw 2) It then teaches you how to overcome that. 3) It makes sense in a scientific way.
OK, here comes the science part... http://williamcalvin.com/bk2/bk2ch10.htm http://www.rense.com/general2/rb.htm
