The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career, and the way he saw the world. In handwritten chapters full of his lush watercolor illustrations, Danny now offers readers a program for reconnecting to their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is the permission to express ourselves fully and take part in the creative process without fear. Artist or not, readers of all stripes will find inspiration in this unique and beautiful book. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - This is the one I go to I have been drawing for a few years now and have just about every book on the subject. When I need inspiration or encouragement this is the book I reach for every time. Gregory becomes a drawing coach. He holds your hand when you need as you start out and also admonishes you when you come up with lame excuses as to why you are not drawing. His drawings are free and without expectations. If you don't think there's enough drawing in the book, I think the whole point is to get you to start drawing ... Read More Rating: - Everyone can draw! I love this book! I've been drawing since I was little and painting for over 20 years, I'm just now learning to do quick sketches. I had gotten away from drawing and now I'm back and love it! Danny is so inspiring and gets you drawing right off the bat! His sketches and ideas are fun to do and you'll be wanting to sketch everything you see, and you can! He shows you how to make time to sketch and shares my belief that everyone can draw. This is a keeper! Rating: - I am loving Creative License by Danny Gregory I am really enjoying Creative License written by Danny Gregory. I actually am now on my second reading! After finishing the book I began to read it from back to front! It is a lovely book written with humor, sensitivity and just plain good sense. I got a sort of kick-in-the-pants start from some of his "encouraging" push starts. The quotes are wonderful and often eye-opening. I do have some trouble reading the strange font lettering sometimes - but that is very minor. I loved the book and reccomend ... Read More Rating: - Artist, thou art loosed! Remove the block to your creative drive and find yourself once again enjoying your own drawing, painting, writing, crafts, or whatever it is that brings you joy! The Creative License: Giving Yorself Permission To Be The Artist You Truly Are is all that the title claims. Own it and you have (one of) the keys that will open the door back into the world of your own creativity, unfettered by a need to be perfect. Be you. Create what you want. Be happy. What a concept! ... Read More Rating: - A dissenting opinion I think a dissenting opinion is in order. I was looking for a book on unblocking ones creativity, not a book on being like Danny Gregory. The book seems to be more about how Mr. Gregory expresses creativity than about how to become more creative. If I wanted to learn to draw I would have purchased a book about drawing. If I wished to become a writer I would have sought books about writing. Mr. Gregory seems to be saying in this book that the only way to become a creative person is to draw and write ...
