This sketch shows a loose, ink-and-paint drawing of a person’s back and side, standing near a dark, wavy shape that looks like water. Behind them, a few small framed pictures are taped up—one shows a crowd, another has scattered dots. The lines are quick and uneven, like a draft or a quick idea. The whole thing is drawn on two sheets of clear plastic stuck together, with notes in the corner like "BLACK (LEFT PAGE)." It feels like a work in progress, not a finished picture. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
