This sketch shows two big, dark shapes that look like chairs. They’re lumpy and blocky, with thick black lines and splashes of bright red around them. The lines are messy—some sharp, some wobbly—as if drawn in a hurry or with a loose hand. The red strokes seem to move outward from the chairs, like energy or motion spilling off them. The paper is mostly white, so the black and red really stand out. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
