“Sigils, Ciphers and Scripts: History and Graphic Function of Magick Symbols” by M. B. Jackson (2013) - selected plates.
This book is highly recommended - it packs a very large amount of accurate information into its 64 pages.
“The world is language” - Terence McKenna.
At each level of experience there are various languages, codes and symbols that describe that level. The first step to improving your own state and that of others is to understand how these languages work. The next step is to start writing your own narratives, stories and texts in your language of choice.

I made a thing! I was thinking about this for a few days - because I realized that when I was young, I was also frustrated about being given the same advice over and over - without really knowing what it meant!!
Here’s 5 techniques which I have done before which have helped me grow as an artist, which are good for 5-minute warmups or just straight up challenges for your sketchbook!
Obviously, these are not the ONLY techniques - they’re just the ones I find most fun! And maybe they’re not the most ‘correct’ ones out there, but it’s better than another comic about practicing more, right?
Good luck to everyone on their drawings!
Yes! Let them know ✊🏾
Do character reference sheets. They will save you!!! So much time!!! From correcting stupid, random outfit/hair changes.
Add backgrounds. It’ll bring readers into the scene and add depth to your story’s world. Plus it’s good perspective practice!!!
Always factor in speech bubbles. They are part of the composition, they help the comic flow, so make sure you plan them into your pages early on.
Make characters look toward the next panel. That’s literally the easiest way to make your page flow. Readers will follow the character’s eyes.
Big panels are for the important things. Readers naturally focus on them for longer, so fill them with intricate details and important information. Like a dramatic reveal or smoochin’.

also with all due respect the main reason the left loses so much is that y’all refuse to compromise on the language and messaging you use to speak to voters. i swear if you rebranded “defund the police” as “invest in community safety from the ground up” most white suburban moderates would be like “that sounds great” and i know that because that’s how i’ve literally reframed it to white suburban moderates who think “defund the police” means we’re going to live in a scary lawless mad max world
