Drawing on right side of the brain without all the bits

I began drawing on the right side of the brain, but finding all the words tiresome and the instructions are difficult to follow. I've got to the point where I need to get a perspex sheet and make view finders and get a non-permanent sharpie etc and all the hassle has just put me off. Has anyone worked through the book just missing out those bits requiring more than a pencil and paper?
