Stick Figure Iconography: Portia
Stick Figure Iconography: Coriolanus
Close your eyes…
Imagine Coriolanus…
…is he covered in blood?
GOOD. We’re on the same page.
BLOOD
Stick Figure Iconography: Isabella
Sometimes it’s very easy to decide how to visually depict a Shakespearean character. Case in point: Isabella from Measure for Measure.
SHE A SAD NUN.
Stick Figure Iconography: Jaques
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women can be depicted using standardized character costumes and props. Heeeeeeeres Jaques from As You Like It!
Can also be bald. Glasses and/or cigarette optional.
Stick Figure Iconography: Helena
In today’s installment of Shakespearean Stick Figure Iconography, we take a look at the key identifying features of Helena (the one from All’s Well That Ends Well, not A Midsummer Night’s Dream.)
There are a lot of plot-significant rings in Shakespeare’s plays, but Helena’s is one of the best.
Stick Figure Iconography: Richard III
Time for some more Shakespearean Stick Figure Iconography comics! Let’s start with one of the MOST iconic Shakespearean characters out there…

Time-Elapsed Video: Romeo & Juliet One Page Summary
It’s JUST BARELY still March and I’m JUST BARELY still “off”! For one last time, let’s dip into the videos I’ve created for my $10 Patreon supporters. This time it’s a process video of me drawing my one-page summary of Romeo and Juliet.
I use Clip Studio Paint for all my work at the moment.
That does it for “Mya is not technically working but also is very much technically working” March! See you next week with all new Shakespeare comics!
