Draw a curved line across each eye to form the eyelid, and a smaller circle for the pupil. Then, use curved lines to contour the nose and the wrinkles between the brows.

“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
While the above may be true, "laughter and good humor" were not qualities Ebenezer Scrooge was known for. He has been described as the "miserly protagonist" of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, published in 1843.
In this "Ghost Story of Christmas," Scrooge encounters three specters. The Ghost of Christmas Past brings back Scrooge memories of his boyhood and youthful romance.
The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge by example that happiness is not linked to money.

Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come reveals that if he does not change, Scrooge will die unliked and with no one to mourn his passing.
Spoiler alert! At the end of the story, Scrooge's personality has been transformed from miserliness to generosity.
Many films, both live-action and cartoon, have told this classic story.
A number of fictional and cartoon characters have been based on the "Scrooge" archetype. One of the most famous is Disney's Scrooge McDuck, the misery uncle of Donald Duck.
