The human figure is perhaps second only to the human face in terms of representation within art. It can be depicted in endless ways from a simple stick figure to the most abstract of forms while remaining instantly recognisable.

In my practice I am regularly experimenting with different shapes, textures and treatments to represent the figure, here are some of the results.
