A sketchbook is an essential tool for the growth of any aspiring artist, but its blank pages can be daunting to even the most motivated. Obsessed with perfection, many wind up treating their sketchbooks more like portfolios than playgrounds. In Drawing Is Magic, author John Hendrix seeks to teach anyone how to find his or her unique visual voice and become a creative daredevil. Through his freeing, offbeat exercises, aspiring and advanced artists will learn a sophisticated philosophy of creative thinking — in a way that is totally accessible and fun.
