Comics have fascinated me since a young age (I'm still young). Copies of Garfield, Tinkle, Archie's, family Circus, and few others serve a pleasant dose of nostalgia on my shelf. When I joined Instagram, I came across comic strips by artists like Sarah Andersen and Cassandra Calin. The quality, humor, and the degree to which I could relate to them fascinated me. I kept thinking: "These webcomics are really cool! I wish I too could draw like them!”
I didn’t have an Arts degree (well, I still don’t) and I was terrible with doodling. I did draw portraits of my friends, so I was not new to drawing but penciling straight out of my mind...That scared me! How do people do that!? Surely one must have an Arts degree to do that! But I guess not.
I finally took the step to try out cartoon drawings after being inspired by a friend’s artwork. It was a terrible start but over the weeks I started getting better at it. I created my first funny comic on paper and shared it online and got a small amount of positive feedback which was more than enough to drive me to continue drawing.
I then focused on saving up to buy myself a laptop and a pen tablet since I wanted to digitize the funny doodles I'd created. Once I got that done, I started drawing digitally to finally create artwork with smooth linework and color.
Soon my cute comics began to get a better response on Instagram. I got reposts from popular comic pages and I watched as my account grew slowly. It has been like that ever since.
I draw relatable comics that depict my everyday life. I figured, why pen down words in a diary when I can record life in comics and share them with the world? Most of my comics are based on real-life incidents or conversations; the others are products of my stray thoughts conjuring funny situations. I avoid giving any of the characters a name because I want people to relate to them.
It's been over a year now and my page has grown and my artwork has improved. Here are my comics that have gone viral at some point in time on Instagram or Facebook. Have fun reading!

Stylists' Advice
Same. I have really curly hair and I use this straightening conditioner...
Straightening conditioner? Please explain and please tell me what it is called? (A fellow person with curly hair)
Load More Replies...I always have to use a lot of conditioner... Because my hair is very thick and it gets tangled easily, even though it's straight. So if I don't use enough conditioner, brushing my hair after takjng a shower will be very difficult and painful.
I don't use conditioner cuz my hair is fine without it, but I don't see how people can use like a pea-sized amount of shampoo or ANYTHING. I have short hair and I still use more than that
I didn't use for a while too but then, I used it and I realized why it exists
Load More Replies...Yeah I have a hairdresser friend who has told me that advice tends to assume a lot. Like your hair being naturally straight, not very thick, and healthy. Its well intended advice, but usually not accurate. Most people don't have time to keep their hair healthy even with the other pre-requisites.

404 - Introvert not found. The comics are cute but I really don't see "struggles of an introvert" here. Who wrote that title?
Yeah the title was taken based on the few comics that set that theme, however more comics were added later thus making the title meaningless. Anyway, thank you so much for reading through!
Load More Replies...Yeah only one or two of these have anything to do with being an introvert, mostly it's just comics about being lazy
Load More Replies...I'm confused: She's got a boyfriend, but she's crushing on someone else? Or is she crushing on the boyfriend?
It bothers me a lot that we have so many people in the comments here whining about the former title and the fact these comics are quite a common occurance on Bored Panda. Though I personally enjoy these types of comics, if you don't, please, please, PLEASE, DON'T CLICK ON THE ARTICLE. If all you're going to do is come here and complain, it's really best just to leave the page alone. Imagine being a creator and posting your comments on a site only to find 50 people with nothing nice to say. Thank you Lizzie, I enjoyed these.
Thank you so much for this! Can't describe how happy i am to know that there are some good beings out there :)
Load More Replies...Did BP change the title? "I Draw Comics Based On Real-Life Incidents And Conversations (30 Pics)" is now in the title line. Nothing about introvert-ing... hum Cute cartoons, and I can relate to quite a few of them!
Yes they changed. First is said comics about introverts
Load More Replies...Ambiverts in the HOUSE!!! I just can't see how this article relates at all towards STRUGGLES OF A INTROVERT...I mean...these were drawings about everyday life, and she was an extrovert in a mass majority of them...goof article, though. Nice humour, colouring...💃
