Similar Poses, Different Approaches

The first was done using straight lines and angles which formed lots of points. I think I managed to keep the femininity of the subject, despite the lack of curves. She'd probably make a good authoritarian character.

The second character is all curved lines and circles. The form is very organic. I think that this character would be perceived as more approachable than the first.

I do these types of exercises because I like to work in different styles. Plus the style can really help to establish the personality of a character or scene.
