About this work

This sketch shows a face turned slightly to the side, with messy hair and a loose scarf or cloth draped around the neck. The lines are bold and uneven, almost like scribbles, with thick black marks covering parts of the face and hair. The background is plain, letting the sketchy lines stand out. The artist used crayon and oilstick on a printed photo, making the portrait look rough and raw. The dark lines create sharp contrasts, almost hiding some features while making others pop. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
