For years, I felt handicapped as an art director because I "just couldn't draw." I finally decided that maybe I could learn. After working through numerous books and lessons, I saw massive improvement in a matter of months. And although I'm still not nearly as good as I'd like, learning to draw has drastically increased not only my desire to create art, but to be present more than ever before.
This is my self portrait before and after going through the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain."
