Ten Minute Doodle: The Face in the Mirror


Have you ever seen your reflection in very dim light when you look into a mirror?
Do you notice how the light changes your appearance, and makes your face older, thinner, longer or hairier? And your eyes… do they glow a very strange colour… or are they dark… or perhaps (and oddly, even) both?
No? Me neither!

I’ve been messing around on the other computer this evening, and doodled a very strange reflection indeed. It’s not my reflection, you understand. It’s just for Halloween!

          Definitely not the hair, Shree. It’s all the mirror’s fault!

    Nice one Tom! 🙂

    At least it looks better than some of mine! 🙂

    Maybe it’s a Wizard looking back at you! 🙂

    God Bless!

      Now there’s a thought, Prenin! Sometimes, the reflection does look wizardy!

    Eerie! I am scared to look in mirrors in the dark. I am too afraid of a face being there besides mine.

      But Becca, if there was another face there, you wouldn’t be alone when you notice your reflection change! It is eerie when it happens, though!

          Nah… not in your mirror! You only need panic if this other reflection then steps out from the mirror into your room!

    Reflection? You mean most people see a reflection when they look in the mirror…? 🙂

      Not everyone, Diane, but most as you say. Sometimes I can’t see my reflection in the mirror. I’ve no idea what it means though…

    Really good doodle Tom, and very halloweenish with the red eyes and razor sharp pointed teeth.
    Just hoping thats not actually your own reflection lol, well the hair sounds very familiar though;)
    Hugs, Nikki

      Yes, others have said that the hair seems familiar, but I just can’t place it myself.
      But luckily, Nikki, it isn’t my reflection. Sometimes, my eyes are far redder than that, but my teeth have always been pointy, however…

    Great pic, but I sincerely hope I don’t see anything like that if I am foolish enough to look in my mirror in the vague hope of seeing my reflection! Howling Wolves! 😀

    You’re very Silver Surfer but with a much friendlier expression.

      I do tend to look different in a reflection for some reason, LA, but I’ve never been described as a silver surfer. I can see the resemblance to the superhero, though, and I’m sure there is always time for the other definition!
