About this work

This sketch shows a person with a blacked-out face, sitting or standing with one arm raised. Behind them, a faint figure in dark clothes is hunched over, almost like a shadow. The words *"Go to church, Ram, go to church"* are scrawled in messy handwriting at the bottom. The face is simple but expressive, with strong lines for the eyes and mouth. The background figure looks like it’s barely there, almost erased. The whole drawing feels rough and fast, like it was made in one go. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a way artists build shading with repeated lines.
