The Faceless Man

I've now got round to sketching something out for my character design, and I've seen a fair amount of reference material on Native American warriors to feel comfortable enough to create my own. Here are some of my favourite pieces of inspiration.

Every man is a warrior, regardless of how many moons he's seen! 

 I really favour this one due to the 'come at me' -esque pose.

As I said before, age doesn't seem to be a factor to the natives.

This also stood out for it's sheer simplicity, and the balanced expression shown in his face.

After I started sketching, I really began to struggle with the facial features. I couldn't seem to create a face that read as a Native America, and then it occurred to me that I wasn't able to describe a typical Native American face to my friends, and if I wasn't able to describe one, I wasn't going to be able to create one.

I spent a bit of time comparing reference I'd gathered, and found 'This Thread' on Yahoo Answers, where someone managed to give an accurate description for me to work with.
