This weekend I finished these three books:
- The Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda
- Same Difference by Derek Kirk Kim
- Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
I have been trying to improve my drawing skills and part of it is to find the styles that I feel the most connected to so I can analyze the way that different authors solve problems when drawing, for example, values for backgrounds or what angles would be the best to describe a scene.
The Rose of Versailles is a manga from the 70s that has surpassed time and now is a classic. The way that the writing and the illustrations connect creates a story in which you can easily get lost.

In Same Difference what I love is his drawing style and the story. It's so close to real life and the way I see the world, sometimes it's not easy to find this in other comics or manga, that's why I liked it. It's a view of reality when I was 20.

In Anya's Ghost I love the story and the way Vera use camera angles, the use of values in a white and black scheme and how she solved lines and colors for the ghost. I just love it.
