What I'm looking for in a comic strip made by me.

So, the comic is coming, but I find myself tied up with character sketches. I'm actually putting effort into the way that it looks! Not that anyone who sees it will be able to tell. The fact that I do it very hurriedly (because I want it to look that way) and that I do it in pen makes it hard to get it right, because one mistake and I have to start all over, a process which leads to what I call "artistic compromises" or "forced creativity." I do want it to look spontaneous - optimally, it will be spontaneous - but at the same time, I want peoples' hair to look cool. So, I thought that I would experiment with preliminary work, and it's been interesting, but it's also been taking time.
