I’ve got another video of me drawing a Suburban Fairy Tales comic strip from start to finish! This time it’s the comic strip that was published June 12, 2020, which features Bo-Peep’s lost sheep! This one clocks in at about 5 and a half minutes, although the time it took for me to draw the strip was much longer. Enjoy!
