This sketch shows three people in loose, quick lines. One sits on a chair, arms crossed, while another stands nearby with a loose pose. The third person is curled up on the floor, almost like a ball. The lines are rough and uneven, with some darker shading but no clear details. The drawing feels more like a fast study than a finished work. It’s all in pencil, with no color or background to distract. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching.
