This sketch shows a face drawn in simple, bold lines. The eyes are large and tilted, the nose is a straight line, and the mouth is barely there. Wavy lines float above the head like hair or thoughts. The whole thing is in black and light blue, looking rough and quick. The artist signed it in the corner with a messy scrawl. It’s not polished—just raw lines on paper.
