Keys to Drawing with Imagination
Dodson's'Keys to Drawing' has become a classic drawing text and the title of
this book plays shamelessly on the title of that work. That said, 'Keys
to Drawing with Imagination' is a surprisingly interesting book. The
emphasis is on illustration with text kept brief, but there are some
useful concepts, for example:
"This work reminds us of the
important role that constraints play on creativity. Constraints often
dictate structure. They set boundaries for creative play."
(Consider rhyming poetry, or the haiku, as an example of this:
the form forces inventiveness.) If you need to break out of a rut or
are often in the position of trying to find a new angle on an old idea,
you might just find the kick-start you need here. Read the review of Keys to Drawing with Imagination
