This drawing shows a crowded room with men in casual clothes standing in a line. They’re at a convention for builders, judging by the sign above them. The background has a hotel and some booths, but the focus is on the group chatting and waiting. The artist used simple lines to make the scene feel lively and a little chaotic. The faces are exaggerated, giving each man a distinct, almost cartoonish look. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
