This sketch shows three stick-like figures tangled together. One stands stiffly, another leans awkwardly, and the third sprawls on the ground. The lines are loose and wobbly, like quick scribbles. The artist used a printing method that lets ink roll onto a flat stone instead of a brush. That’s why the marks look light and scratchy. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
