This sketch shows a chaotic crowd of people tangled together. Some are holding long sticks, others look like they’re reaching or fighting. The background has rough, scribbled lines that look like trees or buildings. Everyone’s faces are simple, almost like quick drawings. The artist used loose, wavy lines to show movement and emotion. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with some white highlights. Look up gouache to see how this soft, matte paint works.
