Silly situations happen to all of us. From clumsy mistakes, to meeting strange people, we can all relate one way or another. That's why comics portraying those kinds of situations are so popular among artists. They want to show you that you're not alone in this world. That we all run into similar problems.

That's exactly what artist Evie Hilliar does with her comics. She illustrates everyday situations, problems she runs into and doubts she has. The artist told Bored Panda: "I was pretty much raised by the internet—I grew up reading funny comic strips online and so when I started drawing, comics came naturally to me. I love drawing comics and sharing them—it’s definitely a way to express myself. Even the stupidest dumb thought, through a comic, can be accessible and relatable to so many more people than I would ever think possible."

My female cat when I'm trying to put her harness on. "Oh boy, I get to go outside! Let me just pace back and forth in circles in front of the door while you try to get the straps done up."

When I pick up my dog's walking gear, he goes nuts. He runs to the window to look out, and then he's too wild to get his harness on. I've tried to train him to sit, but then I can't get the harness on properly. It's always a production, but boy needs his walkies, so we power through it.

As a dog trainer I would encourage people to not jack up your dog by asking them if they want to go for a walk. You don’t need to ask your dog your dog is going to know the second you pick up the leash, even if your dog is blind they are going to know. This is important because you’re technically rewarding a dog for acting in a hyper manner, We as dog trainers would like pet owners to reward their pets for exhibiting calm, submissive, behavior. So the next time you’re ready to take your dog out of the car and it’s all excited and ready to literally bowl you over. Take a couple of seconds and let your dog calm down before you let it out of the car. This way your dog will not yank your arm right out of your shoulder and things are gonna be more comfortable and safer for the both of you. I hope somebody find this helpful.

This artist's style is very colorful, fun, and happy most of the time; however, when she touches upon more serious topics, like mental issues, she changes her style into a more detailed, serious-toned one with black and white line art. That's a great way to show the readers that the topics of her illustrations have changed. Evie has at least 3 of these types of styles she draws in, every style belonging to comics with a different theme and topics they cover.

RELATED:

    The artist talked with Bored Panda and told us what the main goal of the illustrations is: "With my drawings, I just want to express myself. Even the stupidest dumb thoughts, through a comic, can be accessible and relatable to so many more people than I ever thought possible." She also tells us more about how she got into art: "I was raised by the internet, my family was ancient memes like rage comics and 'i can haz cheezburger.' Webcomics were something I was always drawn to (pardon the pun!) and so when I started drawing I just started gravitating to comics myself."

    "Bisexual idiot, makes comics, will die if not given enough attention," writes Evie in her Twitter bio. She creates comics quite often and always has something to share on her feed with over 80k followers on her Instagram loving her creations and supporting her endeavors. Evie has a unique sense of humor and with the variety of topics she tackles, everyone is meant to find something they live in the artist's feed.

    Evie shares what the most difficult part of creating comics for her is: "The hardest part of illustrating for me is actually the skill of drawing. I'm self-taught, I never had a creative bone in my body and drawing wasn't the most natural thing to me. It took so long and so much practice to get where I am with it but I'm still learning! Especially when I have a really good idea that I want to draw and I'm like... Can I even pull this off?"

    In her Patreon, Evie writes "Yeevz is creating comics to make you feel things." From laughter and happiness to deeper thought and self-reflection, you will get it all from the comics of this artist. The artist manages to make you laugh and relate, while also reminding you to practice self-love and care, not forget your loved ones and always remember to appreciate life. She surely manages to "make you feel things."

    The artist tells us more about the topics she covers in her comics: "I would say my comics have two themes—dumb jokes, and mental health. Sometimes the two things overlap. I suffer from mental illness (like so many of us) and my motto is 'you either laugh or you cry,' and when I can, I choose to laugh!" She also shares more about her drawing style: "I would say my style is reminiscent of cartoons from my childhood. I don't put too much detail into my drawings—is it a stylistic choice, or is it because I'm lazy? I'll never tell. I definitely lifted elements from shows like Adventure Time and Over the Garden Wall, and other Cartoon Network shows."

    Evie started her comics over three years ago: "Not to toot my own horn, but it makes me so proud to see the improvement from the early days to now. I love what I do, I don't see myself stopping any time soon!" She also shares the main thing that inspires her to create further: "Messages and comments from followers I owe a lot to. It's hard to throw art into the void, especially things that are more personal, such as mental health comics. It's really vulnerable sometimes! But even one comment that says 'I relate to this' makes it all worth it. I think we are all just trying to find comfort in this big scary world, and if I can give that, then I'll do it for as long as I can."

    If you want to start creating art yourself, Evie has some advice for you: "My advice to people who want to make art is... do it. Do it! No one is stopping you—just do it. You can suck! It doesn't matter! Art isn't about looking good. Art is about expressing yourself. You don't have to draw well to make good art—you just need a unique perspective. Lucky for you, you have it!"

    Evie tells us more about herself: "I'm a Cancer sun with a Scorpio rising and an Aquarius moon. That's all you need to know, right? I never did anything artistic in high school, besides doodling in my workbooks. When I graduated, I had the choice of following a silly little dream of being an artist or doing something with job security and a future. So naturally, I picked the artist route. I'm so glad I did. I studied animation at university and surrounded myself with amazing other artists that made me want to do even better. That's where my comics Instagram began, and the rest is history. Or, still being written."

    Is this true? It´s such a relief because sometimes I push myself really hard to sing because I need to get ´´better´´ even when I´m totally exhausted!

    That's me all the time. I'm a super sensitive person already, and recently I've just felt like I'm kind of falling apart inside, so I'm even more sensitive now.

    Music is one of the very few things that make it slightly more bearable. That, and medication. And food. And crying.
