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. :)
