It’s interesting how people often miss important details when they do self portraits. It’s probably intentional here to miss the glasses because he drew the glasses on the reflection and the artist himself, but I had an art teacher who did his self portrait and forgot his mustache.

Definitely intentional. It’s a statement of how he sees himself vs how he is. Any aging person should be able to relate.

Forgot his mustache?! Incredible

Also, sketches and references!

I know this self portrait had been satirized before but I really like Seth McFarlane's take on it, with similar reference pictures in the corner and all
