Smile Charlie Chaplin

Final scene from “Modern Times.” (1936)

Technical: The song, Smile popped into my head earlier today, and when I searched for recordings, I discovered that the melody had been composed by none other than Charlie Chaplin for the movie Modern Times (1936). Lyrics for the melody were subsequently written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons in 1954. At any rate, I stumbled upon this image and decided to use it as a reference for a free-handed drawing in Procreate.
