.. not the greatest drawing. But it's okay, I guess.

Heh, maybe it is that bad.. Well, that's okay :D

I am trying to break down the form in my recent drawings to very simple shapes which define the figure. I also tend to use hard lines and angles. One thing I have noticed is that it is very hard to keep a woman looking feminine while using angles and a lot of lines so, of course, I have to try and see if I can use those elements on women (even though I am still not using as many of those shapes on my recent drawings of women as I might on men). In the past, I have approached women differently in that I will use curved lines in stead of angles and maybe that is the right approach.

I ended up really not liking the first drawing and wanted to do another. I figured I'd bump this thread because it kind of explains what I am trying to do.

It's nice to see the progress of your thoughts...

The second one is much better:

- in composition
- female shapes (i mean the abstract shapes, because i think the womans curves are better in the first one!)

You're on the right way...keep 'em oglzogl!
