When I was around 16, I drew an old man’s crying eye, which I always loved. Fast forward 47 years and it’s me who is the sorrowful man! I don’t have the original drawing but since it always stuck in my memory, I decided to do it again during lockdown. Anyway, I had a look at it again this week and decided to give it a recolour. What better colour than purple! Originally, it was an anatomical drawing, with layers of the eye socket and muscles of the eye, but in this version I have just left it as a reminder of how my teenage original looked.
