The Drawing Mind: Silence Your Inner Critic and Release Your Creative Spirit

When we drew as children, we never worried about making mistakes--we took risks and trusted ourselves, and had fun in the process. But as we become adults, anxiety steps in: "Am I doing this right?" "What is expected of me?" "This is wrong!" And from drawing, we can extrapolate into the rest of our lives. The fear of making a mistake hinders us from being as creative as we could be. Deborah Putnoi has created an interactive sketchbook that helps us reconnect to that open, nonjudgmental state, which she calls the "drawing mind". Putnoi is both encouraging and inspiring as she leads you through a fun, thoughtful series of exercises that allow you to rediscover your drawing mind and how it can connect you with the world in fresh, exciting, creative ways.
