This sketch shows a person wearing a cowboy hat, a buttoned shirt, and a belt with a badge. They’re holding a gun pointed toward the right side, with one arm bent at the elbow. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick doodle. The drawing uses simple pencil strokes—no shading, just outlines. It looks like it was made fast, with a light touch. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
