This is a simple ink drawing of a person’s head and shoulders. The lines are smooth but confident, with just a few quick strokes for the collar and shirt. The face is turned slightly away, giving a calm, sideways look. The artist left out small details like eyes or hair texture, focusing on big shapes instead. The paper’s light color makes the dark ink stand out. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
