The "Choke" drawing that I posted a few days ago (with the throat grab) went through a few variations before I was done, and this is one of the alternates.
Earlier on I thought the guy's side-eye expression turned out well, so at one point I copied that head on to another layer and tried extending the frame to show more of his body. I liked the result enough to make it a separate post, which I seldom do—maybe because I feel like I'm cannibalizing my own work.
The nice thing about Photoshop is that you can save a copy of a face or some marks or whatever, and draw several completely different iterations of that starting point, going off on all sorts of tangents. It can make for interesting possibilities, but also endless experimentation…which is probably why I have so many unfinished sketches in my files! Who knows, maybe later down the line there will be a full-body rendering...
