This drawing shows a person sitting on a stool, holding a brush and leaning forward like they’re working. The background is full of sharp lines and shapes that don’t look real—some are wavy, some are jagged. A small, dark object sits on the floor near the bottom left. The lines are all hand-drawn with a lot of pressure, making some parts look thick and others faint. The artist used different tools to create these textures. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how these techniques work.
