Once you begin reading (and it's a surprisingly word-heavy book), you'll realize you've entered a document made from an actual classroom. I love this book. I finally finished the latest Lynda Barry book, and it is full of great activities and lessons for me to use in my Cartoons, Comics, and Graphic Novels unit. Later she writes about a class exercise:In class, Barry requires everyone to assume a pseudonym that replaces their actual name for the entire semester. Published This book is a class on making comics (of serious topics, too) told in comic book form. I don't know if I'll use anything from this book with my students, but I am thinking just now of a very talented student artist who might enjoy working his way through this book. This is Lynda Barry's actual course curriculum for making comics. Visual Thinking is a new skill, and Barry is riding a wave of creativity, thoughtful projects, and fun. Bravo, Lynda Barry! We’d love your help.
In fact, the book is drawn as a composition book.

She is on to something important.A treasure trove of inspiration, ideas, and creative play.
of exercises in it, you'll appreciate how much love went into crafting them, and how much fun you might have if you decided to try. A few of the exercises will also be familiar to readers of her other books, but it's interesting to see how some have evolved or how they fit in this context.
Although Lynda is a widely admired artist she writes more as a guide/companion. One minute you're on a Colombian dance floor, and the next you're singing along with the tribes of West Africa.Singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly discusses his new album, In a packed month with 20 great new heavy metal records, Faceless Burial and Necrot stun with their death metal prowess, Jaye Jayle and Steve Von Till break ranks, and Primitive Man gaze further into the abyss.That today's viewers can't easily fall into the fantasy of Rock Hudson as an "Indian" in Armando Iannucci veers sharply from pitch-black satire to a more upbeat comedy with
The Paris Review Barry’s infectious belief in art turns “Making Comics” into the ur-text out of which every other title on this [best-of] list could have sprung; at the very least, it’s the self-help book of the year. More than simply a wonderful practical resource, this should be recognized as another installment in Barry's ongoing theorizing about the nature of storytelling and narrative drawing. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. I'm especially grateful for the variations on diary comic formats. Like its predecessor, Did I do any of the exercises? Your drawings can meet you. One idea I like here, also in her other book, is the daily diary. by Drawn and Quarterly I've been getting kind of sick of four-paneI'm by no means done my journey with this book, but I've read it from cover to cover and dog-eared every exercise I want to try. I might give this one a try again, though it is just way more specific and specialized than "What it is" for me right now.This is a terrific book. Good chance I bump this up to 5 stars after I do the exercises. "What it is" is still one of my top 5 influential books, which I am always recommending to people.
There are also lots of new exercises and variations! It's a stylized and densely populated primer on both. A trove of ideas and exercises, invaluable to teachers and students alike, and drawn and designed with Barry's expected handmade immediacy. Just to get the record straight, I admit I bought this book to have a look at it before committing myself to actually going through it and doing any of the exercises.
Or something like that...if you were stuck, get it...it’s good for anyone who is creative. I read a review about this book, Making Comics, (I can’t remember where the review came from!) Meta engaging.Superb book. Aimed at people who have given up on drawing even for fun, Barry emphasizes spontaneity over draftsmanship and technique, using techniques to spur creativity, and teaches how to play with one's creations so that the methods practiced always remains fun.
