Portrait sketching

I looked closely in the mirror last night, a sketch book propped with my left hand, a Bic ballpoint pen with the other.  I first started with the eyes, then the eyebrows, the nose, the lips, ears, hair line, etc.  It helped that I didn't have to wear my eyeglasses until I needed to add more details.  Three hours later and I thought this was a mirror sketch reflection of me.

    Nice sketch! Looks strange to see you without your glasses.

      Thanks, Joan. LOL. It is strange, isn't it.
