About this work

This is a black-and-white ink drawing of a man in a suit. His face is serious, with deep lines on his forehead and a slight frown. He holds a cigarette in one hand, looking down at it like he’s thinking hard. The artist used thick, scratchy lines to shade his face, making it look almost three-dimensional. The hands are quick, sketchy strokes—like the artist drew fast. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
