I finished up the first season of Mad Men and was thinking how specific the casting for this show was - I don't know if the period costumes really worked or if they also chose just the right actors to emulate that era's look. Jon Hamm, the star, reminds me of the old Arrow Man drawings. I tried to draw a profile similar to the period's but not sure I captured it. I keep seeing my 80s influences.

It's the lines - that's where your "80s" is cropping up. The lines in the 50s where thick, but not in the way this sketch is. Does that make sense?

In a way, but I didn't mean the drawing style - I meant the facial structure.
