This sketch shows two people walking together. The lines are rough and scratchy, like quick scribbles. One person’s arm is around the other, and their clothes look loose and flowing. The artist used a technique that lets ink pile up in the grooves of the metal plate, creating dark, uneven lines. This makes the image feel raw and unfinished. Look up etching to see how this process works.
