@nina_kali_nina "Syllabus: Notes From an Accidental Professor" is her notes from teaching a drawing class focused on students from a wide variety of backgrounds and inhibition about drawing, and is about unlearning shame and inhibition surrounding art making, and finding you voice and developing a style. Also good for getting out of creative ruts. The book is a mix of theory and exercises.

Mitch is all, "when you've been out here for so long, it changes you". It has been 42 days, Mitch. Not even two months.

@nina_kali_nina "What It Is" is focused on exploring memory, and the latter half is entirely exercises. This is focused on writing not drawing, but it is a method that dill draw out Images (capital I), and I think the creative exercises in it are broadly applicable. This is a book about exploring the depths of your mind and creativity.

@nina_kali_nina "Picture This" is also not very instructive. I think it's notable for condensing a lot of her philosophy that is explored upon in more detail in other works. I found it helpful for clawing my way out of burnout in the past.

@nina_kali_nina "Picture This" is a memoir on creativity. It explores various motivations she's had for making art over the years, why she rejected the more formal stuff she learned in school, in favor of a more loose and radical comic style, discusses burnout, and chases after this illusive thing she calls an Image which is the animating spirit of life that can be found in all art. These are all very visually dense texts, and this one probably the most so.
