Here’s my latest and greatest zine! This first edition of “Furry Cartooning Games and Practices” was originally handed out at Western PA Furry Weekend (WPAFW) and includes…
- An origin story about the fursonas I’ve made
- CircleFurs: an easy method to draw furries based on Ivan Brunetti’s and Ed Emberley’s styles
- Attendance Cards: a Lynda Barry exercise to warm up
- Attendance Card prompts
- Fursona Jam: a paper-passing game where a group generates a bunch of new furries
- Furry, This Is Your Life: an exercises to draw a character’s whole life quickly
- YCH Boss: a game where participants take turns telling everyone what to draw
- Diary Comic: a Lynda Barry method to write and draw about your day in a mini composition notebook format
- Convening with Cartoons: my personal method of talking with my own fursonas via comics
- A random words list taken from What It Is
- A random animals list that I made
I used this zine to lead “Drawing Games for Furries” at WPAFW, and I’ve included some photos from the event at the end! Enjoy! And please share this with furries who want to draw! And please buy or check out Making Comics! And if you want to meet up and try these at a con let me know! And if you want to lead these things at a con, PLEASE DO, you have my full permission, just credit me and Lynda Barry accordingly!
