This sketch shows a person walking sideways, their body made of thick, dark lines that look almost like scribbles. The legs and arms are long and stiff, with a white patch on the chest. The background is a pale green oval, and the whole thing feels rough and unfinished. The artist used paint and graphite on thin paper, giving it a scratchy, uneven look. It’s like they were drawing fast, without smoothing out the strokes. Next, check out the technique: impasto to see how thick paint layers create texture.
