What does Ponyboy look like?

On the first page of The Outsiders, Ponyboy describes himself as having "light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes."  He does not consider himself good-looking and says that he "rarely bothers to get a haircut," which he considers normal.  He wears his hair "longer than a lot of boys wear theirs, squared off in back and long at the front and sides," which he also considers normal for the group he belongs to.  In addition, Ponyboy had a somewhat small, lean build that was an asset to him as a track runner, but made him an easier target for his enemies than some of the other members of his group.
