This sketch shows two tangled bodies in a rough, twisted pose. The lines are shaky and uneven, like they were drawn fast. One figure leans over the other, their limbs all mixed up—no clear faces, just dark smudges for heads. The artist scribbled her initials in the corner, and the date "1985" is faintly marked. The paper has gridlines underneath, like a practice sheet. Next, check out how etching, drypoint, aquatint work to see how artists make marks like these.
