The camera lens has distorted it a bit; his ears are bigger and his nose smaller in real life. As well as the obvious changes, I’ve adjusted his left eye a bit.

Then there’s the neck, and how much of it to show… I don’t want him to be a disembodied head floating on a piece of paper!

Sheesh, proper artists whizz these things off in half an hour!! How on earth do they do it?
