I'm currently learning to draw on my own using the book "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards, and it has really felt like using a cheat code to gain a mysterious superpower in a couple weeks of not-very-stressful work. (I'm 28 and never learned to draw before.) In fact I'm pretty sure that your bootcamp will use something like her technique, right?

How has drawing come in useful (that it's a superpower, mysterious or not)?
