About this work

This drawing shows a hunched figure with a big head and long hair, sitting on a low surface. The figure’s body is simple—just lines and shapes—with one arm resting on its knee. Behind it, a green palm tree leans awkwardly, and a red blob sits on the ground like a cushion. The sketch feels rough and fast, like it was drawn in one go. The artist used loose lines and bold colors, almost like a doodle. Check out how this was made using lithography.
