This sketch shows a face in profile, drawn with quick, jagged lines. The hair and hands look like they’re made of tangled threads. The eyes are big and dark, staring straight ahead. The artist used a drypoint tool to scratch into the paper, creating a rough, textured look. The lines feel urgent, like they were drawn fast. Next, look up technique: drypoint to see how this method works.
