Portrait of an alien

After struggling with so many images lately, using days and days to get things right and pushing myself (and not really having the time to draw that much anyway..), I just wanted to do something relaxing and totally within my comfort zone and tiny little box.

Tonight that meant making some kind of portrait, and finding some ref photos when I had decided what I wanted to do with my sketch. 

Since I watched Guardians of the Galaxy yesterday, this is what I ended up drawing. A few hours of playing around. :)

So, this is the thing I have been fighting with. I could go on and on about that, but whatever, artist blah blah blah. C&C welcome and appreciated, here, FB or PM. I know, the bg needs work. I just deleted all the people looking at her too. Sometimes posting something helps me see the mistakes in another light.

Anyways. I kind of love it and hate it. As usual. :P Work in progress.

 

Oh ops, I seem to have deleted her eyes too. O.o

Victory: First question was "is the back legs crossed?" instead of "are the legs broken?" ;)
