Brooke seemed very encouraged to day and was less timid about drawing in my presence. We discussed some of her online story writing and how it's available for a select audience to see. She is very concerned about being ridiculed for her drawing. After our discussion I think she is less concerned and sees her imperfections as both unavoidable and less relevant. We reviewed some video material where a comic book artist commented on how his style is really the convergence of attempts to cover up his perceived weaknesses. I think Brooke was able to relate to this well and was encouraged to take a more assertive role with her work.
