This sketch shows a chaotic crowd of figures rising from the ground. Some stand with arms outstretched, while others seem to float or struggle upward. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The whole scene feels crowded and full of movement. Notice how the artist didn’t worry about perfect proportions—just getting the energy right. The figures overlap and twist in a way that feels alive, even in this rough drawing.
