Publisher Description
This eBook is derived from the hardcover book called 'the Zen drawing Pack', which was published in October 2014 by Rockpoint publishers and as an eBook called 'The Zen drawing eBook' by the authors. In this eBook version called 'Zen drawing - a new way to become mindful', the reader finds lots of extra background information on Zen Buddhism. It also includes additional meditation techniques that can be combined with Zen drawing. The drawing exercises included in this eBook focus on applying drawing to reach self awareness, inner peace and stillness.
Zen drawing is based on the work of Frederick Franck. Artist Michelle Dujardin explains how to use realistic drawing as a meditation technique in a practical and contemporary way. This ebook is for people who are interested in finding new ways to become Mindful. Michelle shows you how to connect with the world around you and achieve a meditative state while drawing. Zen drawing will awaken your 'inner artist’ and allow your hands to follow the movement of your eyes. This inner artist will change the way you see a subject, helping you to create art that is more expressive and more beautiful than what you've ever done before.
Not great with a pencil? Don't worry, everyone can learn to draw this way and you don't need any special talent or class. For any level of artist, from a beginner with little talent to an illustration expert, Zen drawing is not about making perfect pictures, it is about the experience of drawing, finding inspiration, and connecting to the world around you.

Customer Reviews
Very inspiring
Although I had never heard of Zen drawing before, I have read a bit about mindfulness and health and wellbeing. The book really illustrates how Zen drawing taps into that, in an easy to understand way and flows very naturally from background to application. The exercises were particularly enjoyable, and the video links very helpful as visual aids. I did struggle at the start to really let go of my usual style of drawing and sketching, but the exercises really helped going through it.
Insightful introduction
I had never heard of Zen drawing and so had no preconceptions or points of reference when I started reading.
The book, Zen Drawing, is a well written and interesting book full of anecdotes which allows the read to connect with the author and her methodology. The book is also, thankfully, easy to follow with useful exercises and links to videos which further enhance the learning process.
All in all, an interesting book that has got even me drawing.
