This sketch shows a man in a suit, hat, and tie stepping outside, holding a small dog in one hand. His face looks tired, and he’s wearing scuffed shoes. Behind him, another man in a hat sits inside a dimly lit room, barely visible. The artist used a mix of linework and shading to give it a rough, sketchy feel. The marks look like they were made with a pen or needle, creating texture. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints.
