Reflection of "Understanding Comics" reading

I enjoyed this reading.  It really gave me some insight before the project and helped me throughout the sketch process.  At the beginning of this project, I think I was caught up in representing my object realistically because of it's emotional importance to me.  I was concentrating on representing every detail.  This reading helped me realize the beauty and readability of simplified images.  This was how I was able to "let go" per se.  I enjoyed the various examples that the author gave.  It made it easier to understand when there were visual examples.
