Funny And Relatable Everyday Life Comics By This Artist (45 Pics)

Given an opportunity, Bored Panda reached out to Ambrata, the author of the "Amby Draws" comics with some questions. First, we asked the artist if she had any life-changing influences that might have helped her with her art and art style in general when it comes to her comics.

“I've always been doodling for as long as I can remember (be it newspaper or textbooks) if I had a pen/pencil and any paper... I'd doodle subconsciously (there's a 10 rupee note with a funny cow doodle on it somewhere out in the world thanks to me), and when you do something that long, you somehow develop a style of your own. I think I just jumped into this with what I know and it seemed to work.”

Art, in any kind of form, takes a lot of time not only to practice but also to produce, therefore we asked Amby how long it takes her to fully finish her comics.

“I don't have a set time. If I don't get distracted by snacks, then maybe 2-4 hours. But also I procrastinate like it's my religion, so I tend to drag it out over 2 days, and it doesn't help that inspiration usually hits me at like 3 am.

The fastest comic I've done was when my follower challenged me to make pizza and a comic about making that pizza in 1 hour (it's in my story highlights).”

Being an artist is not easy, one can easily encounter a lack of inspiration, burnout, etc, so we wanted to ask the artist about her ideas for the comics.

“My messy life is a huge inspiration for my comics. The characters are actual people closest to me. Most of my comics are about things I've experienced or things I know are destined to happen to me given my crappy luck. I think that's why I have the followers I have because they relate... and they know me so well by now.”

As we mentioned before, sometimes creative work can cause quite a burnout, therefore we asked the artist how she dealt with that as well.

“YES. Making comics is my therapy, but when I'm suffering from an art block, it can be very frustrating because it's a big part of life now and it feels ‘not normal,’ but I love making comics. FOR REAL. When I do get a good comic idea, I get so excited I'll start right away even if it's 3 am. It's fun for me!”

We also asked the artist about how people reacted to her work.

“Over the years I've gained the best followers who support my work and I like to think we have a good relationship. Some of their comments are funnier than my comics and always make me laugh. I leave bonus panels for my followers as something extra from me to them (only those who follow me mostly know to scroll till the end).

Although, when I started back in 2017 I've had a few bad experiences and mad haters, I even considered stopping my page but I liked making comics far too much for that. Now I don't pay attention to the hate. It's a part of the gig.”
