About this work

This sketch shows two figures tangled together, one with wings and a hat, the other nude. The lines are loose and shaky, like quick scribbles. One figure’s arm wraps around the other, while hands clutch at each other’s bodies. The drawing feels raw, almost like a first try at capturing movement. The wings and hat add a strange mix of fantasy and everyday life. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
