Most of the drawing books I recommend are 'how to' books full of step-by-step demonstrations. Bert Dodson's 'Keys to Drawing with Imagination' is a little different. It explored the process of creativity and is loaded with ideas and examples - it's a very visual resource. He looks how to take a starting point such as a shape, pattern or object - and give it a twist to create something exciting. His thoughts on creativity are really useful. I recommend it highly for use at home or in the classroom. Next time you hear "I don't know what to draw", just hand it over! Read my full review of Keys to Drawing with Imagination
