This sketch shows a dark, jagged shape in the center, like a bird or a shadow, with sharp lines around it. Above it, two curved lines meet at a small circle—maybe a lightbulb or a wire. The paper is light, and the pencil strokes are quick and uneven, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The word "électricité" is scrawled below, hinting this might be about energy or power. The artist used simple lines to create the whole scene, almost like scribbling. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
