Julie

There are primarily two categories of drawing, the first kind can be termed objective because it owes much to theme.
Traditional or "classical" drawings are typical of this kind. They are essentially documentary records of things, or of moment, or of landscape. The subject matter is treated descriptively ranging from a minimalist line, to an elaborate rendition of the subject matter.

The second kind is expressional or subjective drawing. Here the artist attenuates or distorts or idealizes forms. This drawing "Julie" represents the second kind.

I prefer subjective style, as it allows more leeway for interpretation. Objective style has merit as a more solid recording, though in portraits still offer a little subjectivity via the subject's demeanor.
