Minds Over Realism

'More geometric shapes and lines, less curves' is a thought how I should approach charcoal figure studies more. This is a start. This drawing was to exemplify a more raw state, with sharp lines jutting out. Normally, I tend to make shading more realistic and smooth; however, I'm trying to work a different aesthetic. Realism was the last thing I wanted to approach. These studies were drawn over Christmas break.
