extended blind contour

The main idea was to create these warped weird looking faces, I wanted it to be magical in an abstract way. I sort of just started drawing and then got lost in it (lost in a good way). 

I started with charcoal but that didn't work out because the pencil lead kept falling off when I sharpened it so I decided to use pen.  I added in the straight lines so that the edges of the faces would have something to interact with and so the negative space would be more emphasized.

I was watching tv while I made this so I would paused the show at any time and use the characters as reference. The whole thing was kind of a blur, when I'm working I go into a different world so I can't really explain why I did certain things.
