Summary

Inspired by everyday life， comic artist Matilda Tristram offers an engaging and accessible introduction to the radical potential of diary drawings， small writings and comic strip creativity。

Diary comics can tell your personal story; start conversations; describe things that can be difficult to communicate with words alone; and be a creative experiment in expression。 Weaving words and images together to tell a story is fun to do; therapeutic; a way to connect with people; political; and even transformational！

In My Day in Small Drawings， discover how to practice observation and active listening and use narrative and storytelling techniques to weave drawings and ideas together to craft a unique and delightful visual diary。

After an introduction to diary comics and tips on incorporating humour， developing a visual style， creating characters and choosing pens and paper， discover 52 prompts to inspire your observational journey。 Use the blank frames that follow each prompt to record your life as it grows with you。 In any order you choose， document and explore:
Yourself and your home – Find inspiration in your daily chores， activities and favourite clothing and objects。
The world around you – Look outwards， at the people and things you pass on walks and in public places。
Modern life – Examine how you feel about politics， the environment， online content， exercise， things that annoy you and things that make you happy。
Family and friends – Write and sketch about your relationships， socialising， disagreements， holidays and love。
Describe your real and imagined worlds by adding text to images and become a storyteller to create your own graphic narrative！ Observational， personal， overheard conversations taken out of context， objects given a voice， locations and memories they inspire are all woven deftly into this charming book to cherish。

I quite like artsy books， especially those with prompts and spaces to fill out， which this one has。 That being said， this was just， okay？ I don’t know。 I didn’t really vibe with the art style that was used for the examples or the prompts that were given。 If you’re really into comics and have absolutely no art background maybe you’ll enjoy this more than I did。I received an eArc via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。

An interesting book about drawing comic strips。 There is an introduction in which the author talks of her passion， style and motivation for making comics。 There then follows sections divided thematically that provide prompts and examples。 Each prompt is follow by spaces for you to practise your own doodles and comic strips。 The prompts were fun and very varied。 There wasn't much in the way of technical instruction and the book assumes that you have some drawing skills。 Overall this is a fun， ins An interesting book about drawing comic strips。 There is an introduction in which the author talks of her passion， style and motivation for making comics。 There then follows sections divided thematically that provide prompts and examples。 Each prompt is follow by spaces for you to practise your own doodles and comic strips。 The prompts were fun and very varied。 There wasn't much in the way of technical instruction and the book assumes that you have some drawing skills。 Overall this is a fun， inspiring book。I received a free review copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for my honest and unedited review。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading this book。 I loved the prompts and found some new ideas。 It was interesting reading Matilda’s perspective on ordinary moments throughout the day。 It made me want to pay attention more to small moments。 I also liked that she included a list of resources at the end of the book。 *Thank you Netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review。*

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is such a cute book！This book breaks down journaling， drawing， and reflecting through little drawings。 Tristram gives advice and prompts on drawing as a part of journaling and documenting experiences and feelings。 There are cute comics and drawings throughout the book as examples。 There's prompts followed by pages to do your own drawing， which isn't as useful in the ebook version。It's a thoughtful book that ta I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is such a cute book！This book breaks down journaling， drawing， and reflecting through little drawings。 Tristram gives advice and prompts on drawing as a part of journaling and documenting experiences and feelings。 There are cute comics and drawings throughout the book as examples。 There's prompts followed by pages to do your own drawing， which isn't as useful in the ebook version。It's a thoughtful book that talks about the importance of things like your favorite items， the weather， and how to express yourself。 It's a great book to help you reflect， draw， and journal regularly。 。。。more

The author of this title feels passionately about the ways in which writing comics can be helpful to the one doing the drawing and captioning。 It may also be helpful or inspiring or humorous or…to others if shared。 The comic offers a visual way of thinking that can be augmented with text。 The cartoon can make a point， evoke emotion， provide catharsis or more。Ms。 Tristram began making comics when she was diagnosed with cancer。 Expressing herself with this form was important to her and she shares The author of this title feels passionately about the ways in which writing comics can be helpful to the one doing the drawing and captioning。 It may also be helpful or inspiring or humorous or…to others if shared。 The comic offers a visual way of thinking that can be augmented with text。 The cartoon can make a point， evoke emotion， provide catharsis or more。Ms。 Tristram began making comics when she was diagnosed with cancer。 Expressing herself with this form was important to her and she shares why this is so。After a detailed introduction， there are a number of prompts。 These are followed by pages where the owner of the book can make their own comics。 She shares her own on each subject and these help to put budding artists in the spirit to create。For those who are looking for ways to express themselves， this book may be quite intriguing。 Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing it。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
