This sketch shows two figures in old-fashioned armor from behind and the side. The metal plates are dull, with spots of rust and paint chipping off. Their helmets cover their heads, and the armor looks heavy, with straps and padding underneath. Notice how the artist left some edges rough—like they were quickly jotting down shapes rather than smoothing them out. The light hits the armor unevenly, making some parts stand out more than others. If you like this style, check out impasto.
