About this work

This drawing shows a person from the back, wearing a dark green suit and tie. Their hair is fuzzy and cloud-like, and they’re holding something to their ear like a phone. The lines are loose and sketchy, with quick strokes that make the figure look simple but lively. The artist’s signature in the corner reads "Mic-mac," which might be a nod to the chaotic, mixed-up style here. The drawing feels more like a quick sketch than a polished work. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
