About this work

This sketch looks like a fast, loose drawing of two people sitting close together. The lines are wobbly and uneven, almost like they were drawn in one quick go. There’s no clear background—just a mix of scribbles and shapes that don’t quite form anything solid. The artist used a technique where the lines overlap and blur, making it hard to tell where one shape ends and another begins. It feels more like a sketch than a finished picture. If you like this style, check out drypoint next.
