Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
By: Betty Edwards
Five basic skills of drawing
The global skill of drawing a perceived object, person, landscape (something that you see ‘out there’) requires only five (5) basic component skills, no more. These skills are not drawing skills. They are perceptual skills, listed as follows:
• One: the perception of edges
• Two: the perception of spaces
• Three: the perception of relationships
• Four: the perception of lights and shadows
• Five: the perception of the whole, or gestalt
The first four (4) skills require teaching. The fifth occurs as an outcome or insight.
