Cubism in practice

Below is a portrait that I drew using charcoal. After exploring the history of cubism, it inspired me to 'give it a go'. In its creation, I drew heavily on the idea of different angles and perspectives to draw a portrait of my younger brother. I feel that although the image looks abstract to the viewer, it portrays the subject quite well.

Line is the main technique that is used in this picture. It relies on bold, heavy line to draw the viewer to the different angles and perspectives that I analysed in its creation.
