This drawing shows a few thick, dark shapes on a light background. The lines look like they’re made of charcoal, some straight and some twisted. One shape leans against another, and the whole thing feels a little off-balance. The artist used quick, rough strokes—no smooth lines here. The paper has faint marks, like it was worked on a lot. If you like this style, try looking up Joel Shapiro.
