This sketch shows a person sitting sideways on what looks like a bench or ledge. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like quick scribbles. The figure’s back is turned, and the drawing focuses on the shape of their body and hair. The artist used lots of overlapping lines to fill in shadows and texture. It feels raw, like a fast sketch rather than a polished drawing. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
