This sketch shows a dark, shadowy figure hunched over, holding what looks like a phone or small object to their ear. The background is mostly blank, with just a few faint lines suggesting a hood or collar. The colors are mostly gray and brown, with some lighter patches on the figure’s sleeve. The paper has handwritten notes in the corners—dates like "1994" and names like "Mr. Christopher." The style feels quick and rough, like a fast sketch rather than a polished drawing. If you like this loose, sketchy style, check out Olav Christopher Jenssen for more work like this.
