About this work

This is a black-and-white sketch of a person sitting at a table. The figure is made of simple, blocky shapes—like stacked boxes—and their head is just a smooth circle. The table holds a few vague objects, and the background is a loose, textured grid. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paper has a number and date stamp. This style looks like it’s drawn with lines pressed into the paper. Next, check out how this was made with etching.
