About this work

This sketch shows a bare-chested man with dark hair, resting his head on one hand. His skin is lightly shaded, with quick strokes for muscle and shadow. The background is mostly blank, just a faint yellow glow on the right side. The artist used watercolor, letting the paper show through in spots. The marks are loose and fast, like a quick study rather than a finished drawing. Try looking up watercolor to see how this medium works.
