This is a modern drawing by Chris Orr. It copies an old Raphael cartoon. The V&A keeps it in London. Made in 2002 for the Big Draw event, it shows how drawing can be fun and easy to try. Orr adds playful sea creatures. It sits between past art and today’s practice. Look next at the technique in Orr’s other works: cross-hatching.
