Zen Pencils: Creative Struggle by Gavin Aung Than
5.0
I've been such a big fan of Gavin's work for years. I LOVED this book. If you are a creative and you are struggling with a slump or lack of inspiration, definitely pick this up. It will rejuvenate and inspire you so much. This is smaller (more like a pocket book) than the other comic books published by Gavin. It has snippets of life of famous and important artists (writers, painters, etc ) out in the world and a small write up about the artist.
Trust me, it was such an inspiring read. I read it when I was in a slump myself and it really helped me through it. I think my favourite was the last comic where the present day artist is struggling. I loved it! It was so relatable. The need to create, the comparison, bothering about Instagram likes, giving up, being unable to forget your passion and dream; it is exactly what goes through the mind of anyone who creates either for a living or as a hobby. I loved it! And most of all it gives the important message that we should keep at what we are doing.
Highly recommended.
