Brosh author5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Brosh is so candid about her mental health-state and carefully balances awareness without providing any prescription, which feels refreshing to some writing I need in more contemporary times. The chapters that resonated with me the most are the two-parter on depression and the multi-parter on identity vs. It’s really effective and the humor worked for me, for the most part. The long form writing cannot be replaced by the images nor do the images serve as a kind of caption for the words to come. But the quirky illustrations and hand-written dialogues are charming. The art is not “beautiful” in any sense of the word. This frank and funny collection of stories and anecdotes made for quick, easy reading, and I’m definitely looking forward to the recently-released sequel. My friends lent me a bunch of things and I’m in the process of reading them all before I leave for Texas at the end of the month. I had read some of Allie Brosh’s blog posts around a decade ago, so this blog-in-novel form has been on my radar for almost a decade.

![]() ![]() This is not a how to draw book for beginners, and in fact does not contain instructions on how to begin to draw people. This is especially true when people are punching, kicking, crouching, and all the out-of-the-box style movements that accompany fighting. ![]() As any artist knows, it's really hard to imagine where the different human body parts fit when you get outside the basic standing or sitting portrait style of art, so this is a valuable tool for people creating characters from scratch. In volume 3, people are fighting in various poses that will help to inspire you to create your own characters in similar poses. ![]() This allows you to start your own outline, and fill in your own character details in a similar pose. It shows people lightly sketched out with ball joints to straight lines connecting body parts, then it shows another figure in the same pose but more fleshed out, with curved human (or sometimes fairy, or monster). This book series is a number of progressions of characters in different poses. ![]() Stay with me by nicole fiorina5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.
