This sketch shows a quiet street scene with three people. Two are lying on the ground, wrapped in blankets or coats, looking asleep or maybe just resting. One person stands nearby, leaning against a fence, their face blurred. The background is a plain wall with a window and a faint sky. The loose, sketchy lines make the scene feel quick and rough, like it was drawn fast. The colors are mostly muted browns and grays, with a few white spots for contrast. If you like this style, check out watercolor, glazing next.
