This sketch shows a rough, blocky shape hanging from a metal pole. The background is a plain, light gray wall with a few faint lines. The drawing looks like it was made with quick, rough strokes—no smooth edges or details. The artist used charcoal, which makes the lines soft and smudged in spots. The shape in the middle looks like a box or container, but it’s not clear what it’s supposed to be. If you like this style, check out scumbling to see how artists create similar textures.
