This sketch shows a face and body broken into sharp angles and overlapping shapes. The lines are loose and uneven, almost like a quick, messy drawing. There’s no clear background—just the figure floating against a plain white page. The artist used simple charcoal strokes, layering lines to build up the forms. The face isn’t realistic; it’s more like a puzzle of triangles and curves. If you like this style, check out scumbling next.
