This image shows three abstract shapes drawn on a dark, textured background. The top shape looks like a rough skull with glowing lines inside, the bottom left is a squiggly figure with arms and legs, and the bottom right is a small, colorful stick-like form. Bright colors—yellow, orange, green—stand out against the dark grid. The glowing lines inside the shapes might be made by layering colored pencil. It’s hard to tell exactly what they’re supposed to be, but they add a strange energy. If you like this kind of weird, colorful drawing, check out Lucas Samaras.
