I started thumbnailing the Londoner who finds the Graffiti after I'd got a solid idea about where the story was going and what was going to happen in it. I wanted to try and stick to a theme of 'grumpy, stubborn and a bit snottish'; the attitude of your average middle class lawyer.

To start with I gathered some references of the kind of urban character I was looking for and compiled a moodboard;
With that in mind, I started drawing the ideas up;
I grouped them based on the overall shape I tried to stick to when designing the character, so there's a group for Rectangular, Spherical and Triangular iterations of the character.
