This drawing shows a group of people lying around in a dim room. The lines are rough and uneven, like quick sketches. One person in the center holds a guitar, while others slouch on a couch or sprawl on the floor. The artist left out small details, focusing only on big shapes and movement. The black lines stand out against a light background, almost like a shadowy stage. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
