Product Description
Draw with Confidence and Creativity!
Creativity occurs in action: It is not a trait; it is something you do. To be creative, you need to engage in the art-making process. When you are "in the flow," you shift out of the future and into the present, making connections, generating variations and surrendering to the process. Keys to Drawing With Imagination is a course for artists in how to take something, do something to it, and make something new.
Best-selling author Bert Dodson, author of the best-selling Keys to Drawing, is back with fun techniques and mind-stretching strategies to get you drawing better and more imaginatively than you ever have before. In every section, he offers you basic guidelines that help you channel your creative energies in the right direction. Before you know it, you'll lose yourself in the process, enjoying the experience as you create something gratifying and worthwhile.
The subjects covered in this hands-on book are as vast as the imagination itself. Through 36 exercises and 13 step-by-step demonstrations, you'll explore how to:
- Take your doodling from mindless to masterful
- Create your own reality by crumbling, melting or breaking objects
- Flip the familiar on its ear to create something utterly original
- Experiment with visual paradox and metaphor
- Tell vivid stories through the details in your drawings
- Play with patterns to create captivating compositions
- Build your drawings by borrowing ideas from different cultures
- Develop a theme in your work
Along the way, Dodson offers you priceless advice on the creative process culled from his 60 years of drawing and teaching. For additional inspiration and encouragement, he even includes the work of well-known artists. So what are you waiting for? Grab this book and start drawing! You'll be amazed at what you can create.

Fun book on creative drawing,
By
This review is from: Keys to Drawing with Imagination: Strategies and excercises for gaining confidence and enhancing your creativity (Spiral-bound)
Keys to Drawing with Imagination is a book that focuses on the thinking, more specifically on thinking differently and conjuring ideas. The many short concise exercises provided comes with practical tips that you can mix and match on your own. He makes drawing fun with the interesting and stimulating exercises. For beginners, well, this is not a technical drawing technique book with step-by-step tutorials, so you won't learn any technical drawing skills. This book can be picked up at any time to any page for some inspiration, no matter how many times you've read it before. It's recommended to artists who want to have more fun and freedom with their art, or who have constant drawing blocks. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

a must have for art students,
This review is from: Keys to Drawing with Imagination: Strategies and excercises for gaining confidence and enhancing your creativity (Spiral-bound)
This is the second excellent book from this author I've read. I figured out some important obstacles to my creative drawing once I red the introduction. I was struggled with my university assignments but this book was a great guide and pointed my weaknesses. So far, I've done some of it's assignments too which are really helpful in creative drawing, lets you freely float on your imagination and get to the point you cannot believe your eyes. I just can say in a short statement that "if you have stuck in drawing get this book and do what it suggests you".

Drawing with Imagination,
This review is from: Keys to Drawing with Imagination: Strategies and excercises for gaining confidence and enhancing your creativity (Spiral-bound)
I have been drawing for many years, and have seen many books about drawing. But this one and another book by the same author, 'Keys to Drawing' are exceptional. I found libraries have hold on these books. Now I decide to buy them, since they are worth to be kept as reference books.J.T. Toronto
