I always take my mood calming drugs in the AM. Don't know why, but I figure it's a good way to start the day.

At ConStrict this year, I got a cool drawing book, and it's not too pricey. It's called "How to draw comics the Marvel way" by Stan Lee and John Buscema. There are lots of interesting things about drawing people in action.

Also, I may have a couple of good books on figure drawing that I'd be happy to lend to you...

Yeah, when I was on the Little Pills, the instructions said to take them on an empty stomach. I read the HRT instructions and they didn't say that, but I'm trying it anyhow.

Thanks for the book suggestions. I think I'll pass on the comic book one because I already have one with that approach (my $6 special) and don't want to over-focus on that approach since that (comic book style) isn't actually the effect I'm after. As for the others, if the urge to pretend to be artistic stays with me :) I may be requesting you to loan me those. Those books are expensive to buy!
