About this listen
Do you want to express yourself through art but don’t know where to begin? Are you looking to improve your skills as an artist so that you can rise to a master level?
As a beginning artist, it can be discouraging to look down at your work and not feel pleased by what you see. You have great ideas and breakthrough designs in mind, but knowing where to start can be daunting. It’s time to overcome those roadblocks and start expressing your creative ideas. In this book, you’ll learn how to create realistic portraits, figures, landscapes, animals, and still-life. Step-by-step details on dimensions, depth, and light will take you from a beginner’s level to one step closer to mastery. Salma Adi is passionate about getting you where you want to be as an artist and not only teaches you how to draw but leads you on a journey to self-discovery through art. Her goal is to help you get what you have to say—or show—out to your audience, and with the proper tools and guidance, you can do just that.
A few things to look forward to:
- Learn master-level secrets and fundamental techniques so that you can see and think like an artist.
- Turn your lines and shapes into shaded, detailed portraits using the tools and illusions you find in professional art projects.
- Utilize elements of drawing and sketching to express yourself.
- Get to know yourself better through art and align your creative expression with your authenticity.
- Discover the message you want to share and a new and exciting life purpose.
It’s time to remember that creating art is a natural part of who you are. It is a way to share your voice, heal, and understand the world around you. It takes practice, time, and guidance to reach that level of intimacy with your art, and if you provide the effort, then this book will provide the rest. Join Salma on your journey to self-expression, creativity, and betterment of your artistic abilities.

Story
The gender gap reaches beyond the workplace: it also impacts medical diagnoses! While 13% of boys are diagnosed with ADHD, only 4.2% of girls are, and it’s not because girls don’t have it: it’s because we are misdiagnosed! To make matters worse, the older we get, the harder it is for medical professionals to diagnose and treat us properly. Often the only time a medical professional will notice it is if we have children who are diagnosed. By then, you’re used to living in the chaos of your home and brain!

Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas.

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

See the world differently!
What a brilliant way to learn drawing. I just finished listening to this audiobook and I found it fascinating. I consider myself an absolute beginner when drawing, but the thing is, I love drawing, even if my sketches don’t look as good as I wish. I found the title of this audiobook intriguing, so if there is a way I can learn how to draw better I want to know. My favorite chapter was the Artist’s Path and how she talks about The Passion Formula. I like that she mentions that the message we want to express through art is an evolving process and can change over time. I like that the book comes with a free PDF to follow along with the exercises, so you can practice. This audiobook is so enjoyable and full of great tips not only to improve drawing skills but also as a journey of self-discovery.

Finally I can draw on my own!
This book is really perfect for people like me, who want to draw better! I've always wanted to draw like a real artist, but I could only copy and never do it on my own. But this book is making it possible. It teaches you step by step how to draw portraits, animals, and so much more. What's cool is that it's not just about drawing but also about discovering yourself through art. The author really cares about helping you become a TRUE artist, and the instructions are simple and easy to understand. I love that it’s helping me move from copying to creating my own drawings. If you want to draw without copying, this book is your guide. Highly recommended for all budding artists!

Extremely Helpful with a beautiful flow
This book goes into different drawing projects and is written simply for anyone to understand. It gives chapters on drawing scenery, perspective, portraits, proportions, animals and figures drawing—an absolute must-have for your art reference shelf. You will need an additional book if you want to get more targeted in any particular subject, such as anatomy, but this lays out all the groundwork for artists to learn or hone drawing skills.
The last chapter was really like a self-discovery journey for me. don't skip this one, as it has tremendous value for your art and you as a human being.

Interesting audio that starts from the basics and gradually builds up your art skills.
The author wrote it as if she was talking to the reader directly.
She gives tips while also encouraging you to embrace your mistakes.
Everything is divided into sections where you are given a project for each topic.

Great Understanding Of Drawing
I loved this book. My sister and son are exceptional drawers/artists, and I didn't get that talent. However, I feel that with what I learned here, I can actually hold my own, The use of shapes to create the core outline, specifically in the animals' chapter, helped me massively. I'm excited because I used it to make my own dog picture with success. You would never have known that I couldn't draw:)
The only issue for me is that I am not a fan of the narrator's tone. She narrated it accurately, so I didn't want to ding the review based on personal preference.
I also want to note, that I feel the author is very talented. Much more fun learning from someone with her talent than any other.

True Guide to Developing Your Style as an Artist
This book takes complex art ideas and makes them easy to grasp. It's like a lightbulb moment – things you've been finding hard in your art suddenly become easier, and you can finally conquer challenges you've been grappling with. The best part is the final chapter. It's like going on a journey to discover yourself. There are these super strong questions that help you figure out who you are, what you want to do in life, and what you really want to say. Oh and also, the audio comes with a PDF to follow along with the exercises. I totally suggest this book if you love art or you're trying to understand yourself better.

Let your envy of talented artists end now.
The audiobook has truly unlocked my artistic potential, allowing me to tap into the depths of my creativity and express it with newfound confidence. The inclusion of a complimentary PDF that accompanies the audiobook is a fantastic feature. It allows listeners to actively engage with the material by following along with the exercises and practicing their skills. After listening to the audiobook, I must admit that my perspective on "artists" has completely changed. Learning to draw from an audiobook was something I never thought was possible, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wholeheartedly recommend this audiobook for anyone seeking a means of self-expression through the medium of art. The audiobook is incredibly enjoyable, offering a wealth of valuable tips that not only enhance drawing skills but also serve as a transformative journey of self-discovery.
