This sketch shows soldiers in the middle of a fight. Some wear heavy armor and carry rifles, while others hold drums or flags. The background is blurry, but you can see a building and a person standing on a raised spot, maybe giving orders. The soldiers look like they’re from different times—some in old-style armor, others in newer uniforms. The drawing is rough and fast, like it was made on the spot. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
