This drawing shows a simple tree with a thick trunk and sparse, jagged branches. The lines are rough, almost like scribbles, and the background is mostly blank paper with faint smudges. In the corner, there’s a tiny, sketchy triangle that looks like another tree or maybe a house. The artist used a mix of charcoal, paint, and even dirt to make it look uneven and raw. The title says it was drawn by a kid, but it still feels intentional in its messiness. If you like this style, check out Robert Beck.
