## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Change your life
*by C***S on March 3, 2019*

This book came to me at a weird time in my life. I was in art school around 2010 and was feeling frustrated/depressed about my progress. There was this general aimlessness about who I was and if I had what it took to be a graphic designer. I wasn’t nearly as disciplined as I was now to be able to take criticism and understand how to be objective about design. But I was also just not feeling confident as an artist and feeling like I made a mistake career-wise.This book jumped out at me at the library and changed how in view drawing, sketching and creativity overall. It reminded me of my observational drawing class and the freedom to experiment with new media and focus on the process and craft of drawing.Just to be clear, Danny writes this as more of a journal and inspirational pep talk, weaving in little techniques and tricks to boost creativity, it’s mostly a messy collection of drawings, quotes and observations. This is, however, not a bad thing. The pages explode with handwriting, drawings, scribbles and inspiration! I love just thumbing through it when brainstorming before I do a watercolor or want to do something different in my sketchbook. It challenges me to keep going even when i don’t feel like it because that is when i happen on original ideas and fun surprises in my work.I still wrestle with graphic design vs illustration, but I always have my sketchbook to turn to when I need to release emotion or capture a quick idea. That’s what this book has given me, the freedom to be quirky and expressive just for the fun of it. If you need something more linear and instructional, Danny has other books that might suit your taste. I also own Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain so that I can reference and sharpen myself.But If you are burnt out or dismissive about your own drawing/creativity, this book is for you. All you need is the want to try and give yourself to a sketchbook everyday. This is art for the sake of creating art, drawing your breakfast or your closet, journaling your thoughts and creating a record of the moment you are in so that you can feel alive again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the book you want
*by M***S on January 13, 2025*

I bought this book in 2007. Every few years, I pull it down and reread and start drawing again. Great tips, ideas, his journey, and inspirational. For those that want to draw or be creative. This is the book you want.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ goes beyond being another good book
*by G***O on October 7, 2011*

I have a lot of really good books ... but this one goes a step beyond. I've been inspired by the work of Danny Gregory for a while, but I wasn't sure I really wanted this book at first; I tend to abhor those preachy "you, too, can find unleash your inner creativity, blah, blah, blah." This book has been a huge and wonderful surprise. It has the honesty and openness of his other books, but goes a step further; the simple discussion of the reluctance many of us feel - and the why behind it, and how to get around it. There are creative & easy exercises, wonderful ideas for incorporating quick sketching into brief moments of the day, insight into what drawing is (and isn't?), bits on writing, contemplation and so much more. And the whole journey is interspersed with his wonderful recollections of moments & experiences in his own life, along with his wonderful artwork. I cannot let go of this book. Have read it cover to cover and still find inspiration in returning again. Thank you Danny Gregory. There are a handful of books I know I will keep for a lifetime. This is one of them.
