This sketch shows a rough, quick drawing in black and white. It looks like a person sitting in a chair, but the lines are messy and uneven. The chair has a high back and a flat seat. The person’s head is tilted down, almost like they’re resting. The artist used crayon instead of paint, so the lines are soft and smudged. This makes the drawing feel more like a fast idea than a finished picture. Check out more by Seymour Lipton to see how he worked with simple shapes.
