My 24 Comics With Silly Humor And Random Twists

So far, my favorite comic is a recreation of a poem I wrote years ago — it goes, 'She walked with the sun, danced with the moon, and spoke to the stars; honestly, it was super weird.' I liked the character so much, I gave her a name and have been developing a whole little series around her. She’s just the worst, and I love that.

So as I mentioned, I’m currently working on a little series about Moongirl, the obnoxious free spirit we all hate. She’s the sort of person who calls herself a 'soulpreneur' or an 'empath' or whatnot. Just kind of a bummer, you know what I mean? But I think that specific kind of internet personality is hilarious, so I’m developing a whole series of comics around her — and I’m really happy with how it’s turning out! Be on the lookout for more of Moongirl’s adventures in the coming weeks.

Every time I find a new comic artist I enjoy, I immediately get jealous of their talent and wish I could draw the way they do. That’s obviously not a great habit, so I have to constantly remind myself to keep working at what I know how to do well and implement new stylistic things gradually as I learn how.

That's why, I just want people to laugh! There are a lot of comic artists out there getting people to think or feel some deeper emotion — and that’s great, but I just want people to get a good chuckle when they read something I created. Any additional emotions are purely coincidental.

I've been asked to share some advice with you all regarding becoming an artist... My advice for you is to just draw every day! It’s not particularly ground-breaking advice, but I look back on things now that I illustrated just a few months ago, and I’m blown away by how much worse they are. It really is just practice, trying new things, and finding a style that works for you (plus a whole lot of YouTubing Procreate tutorials).

One thing that’s helped me immensely as I’ve been getting this comic off the ground — I turned my handwriting into a font. If you have wildly inconsistent handwriting (like I do, hello), it’s a great middle ground between doing your own lettering, which takes forever, and using a standard font like Comic Sans.
