Funny, I thought of a hat when I saw Charlie’s sketch too…although I was thinking more of a bowler. But a top hat suits him well. Where’s the cane? (K)

Thanks, Kerfe. His cane is just out of frame, leaning against the bar.

Haha! LOVE this Kirk!! Sooooo much better! He’s complete now with his fabulous new KC top hat!! And I think Cynthia (Sand Salt Moon) named him Mack if I recall so that name really fits now!! 👍🏻😃😃

Of course, not really better. A KC top hat does not instantly make everything better (or does it?). I really just wanted to see how you seem to add shades of color to suggest shadow. I did not succeed as well as you, but I learned a few things I hope to carry with me.
