#torg is very wretched but somehow cute and I don't know how he does this

I was trying to draw an actual good character sketch of Torg for a change and I realized it's surprisingly difficult to draw Peter Lorre with an absolutely blank, stupid expression. Even when he played characters who were not very bright, there was always a spark of humor or brilliance in each of them. Like this is probably the closest ref photo I could find in terms of the vacant, vaguely wall-eyed neutral expression I imagine in Torg, and even then he appears to be thinking some deeper thoughts here. He just has such an expressive face it's hard to make him look blank. 🖤
