This drawing shows a grid of abstract figures, all made of simple shapes like circles and rectangles. Some look like seated people with exaggerated heads or arms, while others are more like blocky, geometric forms. The lines are sketchy but precise, with some shading to add depth. The figures seem to explore how basic shapes can turn into human-like forms. The artist played with balance and weight, making some figures look heavy and grounded while others feel light and floating. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
