I think one of my undergrad drawing teachers incorporated elements from this book in her lesson plan, but I've never read it myself.
It strikes me that different people need different approaches to learn how to make the mental shift. The very fact that it's a right-brained thing means it's impossible to give someone a process. You can explain it at a meta-level, but I think the only thing that really produces the desired result is some sort of suggestive technique--like a koan.
One of my artist friends has always told me that 'Drawing is about learning to see.'
I am starting to believe him. Since I do fantasize about being able to pull out a sketchpad in a public park and draw convincingly and/or do caricatures, I've ordered the book. I feel like I can be open to a non-traditional approach.
Just ordered the book along with another book I've always wanted to get 'Impro by Keith Johnstone'
