This sketch shows a person sitting on a chair, drawn in loose, quick pencil lines. The figure’s face is blurred, almost like a smudge, and their body is simple—just a few strokes for clothes and posture. Behind them, a tall, skinny plant or branch leans in, drawn with sharp, jagged lines. The artist used pencil shading to suggest light and shadow, but kept it rough and sketchy. It doesn’t look finished—more like a fast study than a polished work. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
