#5 of 8. why? because it avoids hints of goth/zombie-like imagery. thicker uneven lines, mean attention goes to the lines first, rather than meaning (i.e., "ah, a face!") which is interesting. the lines, like electroencephalography readouts, indicating something (we know not what, but perhaps language, and context of other images, will help, here). imho.
p.s., I don't have a problem with the microns: the jagged lines are a feature, not a bug. perhaps you could relax more. keep drawing lines, again and again. let the lines and their imperfections — still connected however with topographies of "the face" — be more of the focus. which is to say, materiality of the lines, and their abstract quality. those imperfections and abstraction maybe tell more, as "symptoms" shall we say, however suggestive and elusive, than more obvious imagery of "the face."

I like your comment about the imperfect lines being symptoms.
