Do you remember that book you guys had as kids that showed how to draw almost anything just using geometrics? Am blanking on the author's name but it was a wonderful book. The Houseman drawing particularly reminded me of those steps to drawing.
BTW: I think you could have a second career as a cartoonist!
I know the books you mean; I really loved them. The author was a guy named Ed Emberly, who it turns out has a charming website. There were at least two of his books we had, maybe three: one about drawing animals, and one called Make a World which had a wide variety of different things to draw.
I admit that I'm pretty pleased with myself about those two cartoons, and if I could draw like that consistently then maybe I could be a cartoonist ... but there are a lot more whiteboard cartoons that I've done that the world should never see.

That's true of all artists. I love the cartoons. More? Please?
