I asked my followers on Twitter if they wanted me to keep posting the sketches for my cartoons, and the answer was a resounding "yes." Â I don't want to do too much of this because the sketches are embarrassingly messy, and now the mystery is gone -but since you asked for it today, here it is.

My color is usually a little light because it darkens up and gets a little heavier on the blue in print.
