This Artist Shares What It’s Like To Grow Up In An Indian Family, Quickly Gets Over 1 Million Views On Webtoon

Brown Paperbag is the name of a series of comics about what it's like growing up in an Indian family. They were created by Sailesh Gopalan, a 21-year-old design student from Mumbai who studies at the Srishti School of Art Design and Technology in Bangalore, and since the comics first appeared in June 2016 they've already amassed a collective following of over 150k people mostly through his Webtoon presence.

“I've always been interested in drawing comics,” Sailesh told Bored Panda. ” When asked what sort of advice he’d give to anybody thinking about starting their own webcomic, Sailesh said “Upload! Don't let your inhibitions keep you from sharing your work with the world. I had no idea my comics would receive the response it did, and the only way I could know is if I put it up on the Webtoon.”
