The four pictures below are part of this sci-fi graphic work that a friend and I are working on. I have had a mental block about what the character should look like and have recently settled on this one which takes me back to earlier illustrations I was doing around four years ago. They fascinate me and I enjoy drawing the face in a simple 'circle' with few lines and very little detailing.

The pictures below (from the bottom up) are product of two hours work - the first is more cartoonish and the second aims to try and sketch more then head and shoulders - the third and fourth are all about the narrative - a character awakes. I find it intimidating drawing the same character more then once (although you could argue my cats are exactly that - but it's something about the human form that throws me into torrents of insecurity and procrastination).

Anyway I must keep going because this work is part of a collaborative effort...
