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.
