About this work

This drawing shows a face and body made of sharp, overlapping lines. The figure’s features—eyes, nose, and mouth—are suggested by quick, jagged strokes. The background is mostly empty, with a few faint marks on the left side. The whole piece looks like it was drawn in ink on rough paper, with some areas darker where lines pile up. The artist seems to focus on how lines can build up shapes instead of smooth outlines. The face isn’t realistic—it’s more like a sketch where the lines themselves tell the story. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
