As long as we’ve drifted into discussing fiction—fiction writers know that mental shift that takes place to wherever-you’re-writing-about, and also takes place when drawing, at least if you are using the Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain method. I was charmed to learn that the kids these days have (re)discovered the shift and are using it to visit places like Hogwarts or their favorite anime.
The techniques look unnecessarily complicated to me, but then, like every other artist or writer born before the publication of Drawing...Brain, I was born with that gearshift in my head. Betty Edwards seems to have been the first person to be able to teach how to shift, or at least the first person to write it down.
If anyone wants to try reality shifting, you might first wish to work through Drawing...Brain, as her technique is much simpler than the ones the kids are using. The first version of Drawing..., with the brown-on-white cover, is by far the best and I still see lots of copies at yard sales and used book stores.
