If you would like to read more, you can find new comic strips every Wednesday at 3 PM on Webtoon Canvas or on Instagram. More info: Instagram | webtoons.com | youtube.com | beacons.ai All my comic strips are traditionally hand-painted using watercolors after I ink my panels with a micron pen. It takes a lot more time than doing it digitally but the results are much more rewarding to me. I also like to physically hold each panel, so I think that’s cool too. Growing up in a low-income household, my parents brought me to libraries where I read a lot of comics and manga. I read a lot of “Calvin and Hobbes” by Bill Watterson and I honestly think that changed my brain chemistry as a kid. Other titles like “Peanuts” by Charles Schulz, “Haikyuu!!” by Haruichi Furudate, “Yotsuba&!’ by Kiyohiko Azuma, and Dav Pilkey’s “Captain Underpants” were comics that were instrumental in my development. My art is also heavily influenced by the music I listen to. I don’t create playlists so I will shuffle between Teezo Touchdown, Daniel Johnston, Hank Williams, or even Kero Kero Bonito. As somebody who paints, I look into artists like Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, and George Bellows. There are so many more things that influence my work but I will leave it to you to see if you can pick out any influences that you may find in my work. That is one of my favorite things to do to other artists too. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
