A whole new mind

Within reading this chapters of Pink's book, it was interesting to see how the mind works. His initial drawing of himself was pretty terrible compared to what the final product turned out to be at the end. I find it so fascinating how the mind works, and how the right and left brain relate to each other. The part that I feel is so truthful is the part when he talks about how his instructor was telling him about drawing. He was saying how the mind draws in relation to what it knows. So the lips that were drawn look nothing like actual lips would look, but from his own mind he drew them. He drew them based on childhood pictures that he had in his head, not from what he was actually seeing in the mirror. I'm sure that anytime I try to draw anything that I do exactly that. I am a terrible artist and find myself trying to relate what I am drawing to something I know and tend to use my imagination more then anything else. It is very difficult for me to just transfer information from a page to my mind and back onto another page through my hands.
