He looks confused, and as if he’s looking in the mirror and is disappointed that his hair is turning grey (or am I projecting my own thoughts onto him?😃)

Yup, looking in the mirror and seeing the grey. Thinking how the hell did that happen!

ReplyDeleteoooh, I love him! You always draw the sweetest characters. The real thing is looking fantastic. So glad you're back in the groove :-)
