Influenced by comics like Tintin, Rupert developed his own style, focusing on the everyday antics of dogs. Despite facing many rejections early on, he kept pushing forward, turning his passion for drawing into a successful career. Rupert encourages aspiring artists to stay determined and keep going, even when things get tough. More info: Instagram | Facebook Balancing humor and realism in his comics is key to making them relatable to dog owners. Rupert explained, “I only draw them if they are relatable; otherwise, people would not enjoy them. It’s the identification that people enjoy and often say, ‘Have you got cameras in my house?’” Regarding his creative process for creating a comic strip, the artist said to Bored Panda, “It’s unstructured and spontaneous. Sometimes I don’t have any ideas for weeks, then I’ll have a few in one day.” Dealing with creative blocks, especially when facing deadlines for new comics or books, can be challenging, so Rupert admitted to us that, “It’s always stressful for any creative person, and you can start to doubt yourself and wonder if you’ll ever have any ideas again, but I’ve never missed a deadline so far.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
