I highly recommend borrowing / purchasing the book

'Drawing on the right side of the brain' by Betty Edwards (translated in to numerous languages for over 20 years!!!)

This book is one of the best drawing books available.
The auther makes the statement that learning to draw, among other things teaches you how to see like an artist. I.e that being an artist is really about learning to see things as they really are, not how we think they look.

It works it really does!!!!
