Final post

The way Marjane illustrated her book was especially interesting to me. Some of the qualities that really drew me in were the simplicity in the panels and the way that the story was illustrated beyond the way it needed to be. The way the characters were drawn with not too much detail made me feel a sort of kindred spirit because my drawing skills are only good enough to draw the way Marjane did (if I can even say that much). Other things that interested me about Marjane's work include the way she moved from panel to panel in a way that was disjointed and at the same time fluid. I would love to learn how to do that. Finally, I loved the black and white art style. While making it feel older may not have been Marjane's intention, it was a stylistic choice that really appealed to me.
