About this work

This sketch shows a person sitting on a chair, drawn in loose, dark charcoal lines. The figure’s back is turned, and their posture is slumped, with one arm resting on the chair’s armrest. The paper’s edges are rough, and the drawing feels quick, almost like a first try. The artist used heavy shading to show folds in the clothing and the shape of the body. The lines are uneven, giving it a raw, unfinished look. If you like this style, check out scumbling—a technique where artists use short, choppy strokes to build up shadows.
