Yeah, the tutor recommended that book as well. I'll have to see if I can
find it for sale somewhere...

Right side instead of the wrong side, or instead of the left side? :)

Yes, there are special techniques involved with drawing, (more than I
know), and especially with a soft pencil or charcoal, but it's not hard to
get a good 3D effect this way. Your forefinger is your friend in this case
Andrew! ;)
Draw a character with a soft pencil and then smudge with your finger,
every *verticle* line to the RIGHT or LEFT of your character. You now have a
lightsource on paper. :)

Yeah, there's some theory that one side of the brain is more analytical
and the other is more emotional, or something like that. (I can't
remember which is supposedly which though.) Presumably it's a reference
to that.

The left-side of your brain, which deals with the right-side of your body,
is supposedly the more analytical; with the right-side (left-side of the
body) being emotional etc. That's why left-handed people are supposedly
more creative.

Oh, sure, *shading* is easy. It's drawing the lines in the right place
that's hard... Most of my drawings involve no shading at all.

[For anybody that didn't know.]
The human brain is wired up back-to-front and upside-down. The left side
of your brain receives sensory input from the left side of your body,
yet *controls* the right side of your body. (Something to do with this
being optimal for fast reactions when adjusting your balance or
something.) Similarly, your visual cortex is at the *back* of your brain
- as far away as possible from your eyeballs. Go figure... [This is,
apparently, why being hit over the head with a baseball bat makes you
see stars.]
