As I’m sure many people do, when I’m bored, I tend to pull out my sketchbook and some pens and randomly draw whatever pops into my imagination at that time.
In this case, I was sat gazing out of the window in Starbucks on my break, where outside there was a toddler, a little chubby-faced boy, with the roundest face I had ever seen, so mostly out of boredom I decided to have a go at trying to match his characteristics on paper.
All was going well, the roundness of the cheeks were in, the quite-vacant facial expression was captured, and then as the lines started to increase on the page, it started to deepen and grow darker and darker as more detail started to come in, shadowing on the skin, tones in the hair, the glint in the eyes, and after a while it was no longer a toddler, but a rather scary-looking character of a man, so to take him all the way to manhood and make the transformation complete, the obligatory mid-life-crisis styled beard was added.
