About this work

This sketch shows a strange, exaggerated bird with a big beak and wild feathers. Behind it, a fish leaps out of water, its mouth open and scales rough. The waves are drawn in quick, wavy lines, and the whole scene looks like it’s made with pencil or chalk. The artist used shading to make the textures pop—notice how the bird’s feathers and the fish’s scales look almost real. The drawing feels rough and fast, like it was sketched in one go.
