A cartoon illustration of a man watching TV. The man has a medium complexion, thinning hair on the top of his head, and a mustache. He looks like a giant, sitting on a tiny couch and watching a giant TV. He is hunched slightly forward, his legs are bent upward from sitting so low, and he has his hands on his legs. He is wearing a red shirt, green pants, and gray shoes. The couch is a light teal. The TV is an old-style boxy set, with a double-pronged antenna on top. It is sitting on a brown stand that is just the right size. The background is a light mustard yellow with a lighter yellow half-circle behind the man and the TV. There is a white oval behind the TV where the screen would be, and there are white lines emanating from it, indicating that it is on and showing something.

Today's June Toons cartoon is a giant man sitting on a tiny couch watching a tiny TV!

I don't know why, but I really struggled with the linework on this one. Some drawings I get started on and I just get in the groove, and some I don't, and this one I felt like every line I made was the wrong weight, tapered the wrong way, etc. It came together in the end, but it was frustrating to make at the start.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for everything else.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
