A week-to-view journal that teaches you how to draw your very own autobiographical comics in one panel a day. With tips and tricks to teach you the basics of drawing comics, and prompts to help encourage mindfulness, Snippets is the perfect book for anyone wanting to combine creativity with self-care.
Snippets - 52 Weeks of Diary Comics teaches the basics of writing and drawing comic strips in a diary format that provides a record of your year, your growth as an artist and storyteller, and a place to experiment and explore your creativity. For artists and non-artists alike, each week a new prompt will inspire users with suggestions of stories they can tell, or tips they can try. Extremely accessible and undemanding, the diary is designed for only one panel a day to be drawn, making it easy to fit into your life while at the same time allowing the use to establish a new hobby and skill. At the end of the week, the user has a completed comic strip to share with others, use as the basis for a bigger, longer story, or simply a private record of their life and growth as an artist.
