This drawing shows two figures playing a giant double bass. The instrument takes up most of the space, with thick black lines and simple shapes. One person sits on the left, holding the bow, while the other stands on the right, holding the scroll. The background is mostly blank, letting the figures and the instrument stand out. The artist used charcoal to make bold, flat areas of black and white, giving it a graphic look. The figures are simplified, almost like cut-out shapes. If you like this style, check out scumbling.
