About this work

This sketch shows a man in a wide-brimmed hat riding a horse that’s bigger than life. Around them, three pigs wander loosely, and in the background, a tiny village sits under a sky full of birds. The lines are light but confident, blending ink strokes to fill in shapes. The artist plays with scale—people, animals, and buildings mix in odd ways. It’s like a dream where everything is slightly off-kilter. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with just lines.
