This drawing is full of overlapping shapes—boxes, circles, and lines—that don’t quite fit together. The colors are just light pencil on paper, with some darker marks for shadows. Everything looks slightly off-kilter, like the artist tilted the page while drawing. The tiny details, like the small dots and dashes, add texture without making the shapes clearer. It’s not a sketch for a building or a person—just pure shapes playing with space. If you like this, check out Al Held for more work like this.
