This sketch shows a man sitting with his arms crossed, wearing a hat and a loose jacket. His face is blurred, and the lines are rough and quick. In the background, there’s a tiny figure standing on a balcony or ledge. The artist used a scratchy technique to create texture, almost like carving into the metal plate. This isn’t a polished drawing—it feels fast and alive. If you like this style, check out etching.
