What's the secret to becoming a successful creator? Developing artistic mastery, generating more ideas, having excellent social media presence? Try all of them. And if you need an example, Natalia Trykowska (also known as Verauko) is the perfect one. She's a very productive Polish graphic designer/digital artist, based in London, United Kingdom. Her commercial projects aside, Verauko is regularly drawing comics as well, and they have already earned her nearly 48K Instagram followers.

"I try to vary the topics as much as possible, whatever comes to my mind first gets illustrated," Verauko told Bored Panda. " That's why sometimes you'll see me drawing real-life situations, and sometimes some random imaginary mermaid problems. There are absolutely no limitations when it comes to themes. The only topic I would preferably stay away from though would probably be politics, since my knowledge on that matter is very limited and I'd much more prefer to draw stuff that brings people together than divide them."

Over the years she has dealt mostly with graphic design and digital drawing. The former is a result of Natalia's work experience in advertisement while the latter is a form of passion that has been following her since she was a child.

For Natalia, coming up with the idea is the hardest part of the creative process. "I'm lucky enough to have a good imagination when it comes to visual stuff, but when I have to come up with a story, my mind often turns blank," Verauko added. "That's why majority of my comics are everyday life "problems", e.g. naked butts randomly showing up on the streets or nervous laughing fits at coffee shops - all of those silly, random situations actually happen to me and that's why I draw them." Natalia said that working on the drawing is relatively easy when she finishes developing the idea.

And her expertise shouldn't come as a surprise, since Verauko took her time developing it. She has a Bachelor of Arts from the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. Scroll down to check out her comics, and upvote your favorite pieces.

I have no idea how humanity survives, given that our babies look like angry potatoes.

Apparently most people are more sad when dogs die in movies than when people die

THIS IS SO ME. If I am in a vet's waiting and a puppy whimpers I just go "Aww is he ok". If I am in a doctor's surgery and a baby cries I just think "please shut that kid up". Needless to say all my "babies" have had fur.

How unempathetic and sad. Says something about the state of society when people become proud of their disdain for helpless babies.

Oh no...ppl find puppies more adorable! That's because puppies don't take at least 18 years of self sacrifice and they are not pushed on us all by tradition that cannot exceptnoteveryone wants kids!

If you want to raise a puppy it's almost the same self-sacrifice as to raise a kid. You have to get up at night, you have to feed them, play with them all of the things you would do when you raise a child. Except for a puppy won't become more and more independent as it grows. You'll always have to feed it, clean up after doing its job etc. You won't have a free day as long as it lives. While the kid eventually becomes more and more independent and they hardly need your assistance in anything. While your dog will need it the entire time. (I have three kids and I had dogs also at some points in my life. If I have to start over again I'd choose kids again without a doubt. Much less mess, less sacrifice) Of course, not everyone has to have kids, and not everyone should. But if your most important con is self-sacrifice please don't have a dog either.

Human babies don't get cute until about the 5th or 6th month, puppies are cute 100% of their life.

B***h you're not stating facts. You're stating your moronic opinion which you're entitled to of course, but that doesn't make it any less moronic.

when you're older you're more mature and realise that you don't need that much narcissism in your life

Ironic evolutionary twist: an animal who gives birth to eggs yet has large mammary glands for milk production.

Sports is always good, even if you do not loose weight! Gaining muscles first is pretty normal...it is not the number on the scales that counts but how you feel!

I know that the artist of these comics is Polish but this comic reminds me one time when an American transfer student visited our class at school. She told about her and her country. At the end of the class everyone could ask questions. The first question was: 'Do Americans really sleep with their shoes on?". I don't remember what she answered but then we had a long discussion about wearing shoes indoors because in my country (Finland) it is not polite to wear outdoor shoes inside someone's home. :D

Do not be in the middle of a drink when seeing this one, my laughter made my drink barely miss the keyboard and now my nose stings.

Creepy smiling stranger. She hasn't had her coffee yet. She doesn't even know it's Friday.
