You see a simple drawing of a man sitting down. He's drawn with black chalk on blue paper. The artist added white highlights to make him stand out. This drawing is interesting because it shows the artist's skill with simple tools. The black chalk and white highlights create a lot of depth. Check out the work of artist Ramsay, Allan to see more of his sketches.
