I am reading a book called Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh, and that is what this drawing pertains to. I’m really interested in books about contact with space aliens recently, but I’ve never found any of them satisfactorily weird. Foreigner deals with these aliens called atevi who are mostly humanish but not completely, and the difficulties a displaced population of humans has in interacting with them. Have really enjoyed it, and there’s some interesting ideas, but Cherryh overexplains everything.

I’m going to try to read more, and to draw something from every book I read. I have trouble seeing things in my head without drawing them.
