This sketch shows a man wearing a turban, his head turned slightly to the side. His face is smooth, with no beard, and his hair is drawn under the turban. The lines around his face and clothing are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The artist used a mix of shading and ink to create depth, focusing on the folds of the turban and the texture of the fabric. The background is simple, letting the face stand out clearly. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
