This sketch shows three figures mid-motion, arms raised like they’re cheering or dancing. The biggest figure in the center wears a loose, striped dress and has a serious face. Behind them, two smaller figures copy the pose, one with a child’s small hands. Scribbled text at the bottom reads *"in these parts"* and *"we dance to a nasty song."* The lines are made with quick, sketchy strokes—some areas are packed tight, others loose. It feels like a fast, rough drawing, not polished. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
