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.

I liked that it encourages you to think outside the box and not stay fast to all the rules and proportions that you learn in the beginning. Enjoyed going through it.

Dommage pour les non anglophones que ce livre n'existe pas en français. Le précédent, "les clés du dessin" existe en français et est tout aussi formidable. Il est plus accessible aux débutants.
Celui-ci est destiné me semble t'il pour les pratiquants déjà un peu aguerris ou super motivés. Il donne des pistes pour trouver l'inspiration et ce, de façon très professionnelle. Il y a de nombreux exercices proposés vraiment motivants et inspirants. Il y a aussi beaucoup d'exemples de travaux menés par des élèves ayant effectué les exercices avec brio. Ce livre est tout en couleurs, d'une belle qualité de papier et aux illustrations très belles. Le format est lui aussi très agréable car grand.. J'ai beaucoup progressé grace à ce livre et le précédent cité plus haut. Ce sont tous deux des livres de grande valeur.

This book is well laid out, thoughtfully explained, beautifully illustrated with many examples and I found it to be very inspirational.
Mr. Dodson gives enough information in each chapter to unleash the imagination in various ways using varied techniques. I use the ideas presented in the book in my ESL classes and they are powerful magic for opening students eyes to a new way of seeing and producing art. This book has exceeded my expectations and has become a kind of bible for me.

5,0 su 5 stelle I'm really enjoying this book!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 maggio 2010

I got this book as an antidote to the "follow-these-steps-and-make-a-picture-exactly-like-this-one-I-Drew" books that I've been buying, and that are so common on the market for art instruction books. I wanted to "loosen up" a bit and get a feel for my own artistic voice and creativity. It's definitely helping.

I like the fact that he starts with the simple idea of "doodling" and expands from there. Other drawing books start with "how to make marks" with the media, and then you use the marks to draw like the author. "Keys to Drawing with Imagination" gives you examples of "doodling algorithms" (categories)and then assigns exercises wherein you take these ideas and create your own patterns and drawings.

Bert Dobson has obviously done his homework, too, and created a logically consistant, naturally progressive drawing instruction text. There are eight chapters: 1. Doodling and Noodling, 2.Drawing a New Reality, 3.Stretching the Truth, 4.Visualizing Ideas, 5.Storytelling, 6.Exploring Pattern, 7.Mining Culture, and 8.Exploring Themes. There is also a helpful glossary and an Index. A total of 36 Exercises are scattered throughout the chapters. I really like the way these are set up. He gives [copyable] examples, and then an assignment to implement some of the ideas on your own. It would actually take a very long time to work through the whole book thoroughly, but it is also possible to skip around and do what you like.

In addition to doodling, I am reading some of the wonderful chapters later in the book wherein Dodson does a two-page bio and art examples from specific very creative artists. I enjoyed the section on cartoonist R. Crumb and the inspiring story and works of Elizabeth Layton, for example. Dodson also borrows ideas from many other artists he knows (and credits them) to expand various points, and create exercises along the way. For example,there's a part called "Escher Tiling" wherein you can try out making interlocking drawings to fill a whole space. (ie, no background)

Lastly, the construction of the book itself is excellent quality and practical for use. It is a heavy hard-back book with glossy-print pages. There is more artwork than text. Most of the illustrations are black and white, except where the artists have done color work. The book has an enclosed spiral binding, so that when you open the book, it will lay flat. This is extremely helpful.
