This drawing shows a loose, sketchy figure with wavy hair and a rounded body, standing on a thin line that looks like a floor. The background is a flat yellow, and there are four small, crumpled-looking squares with a grid pattern scattered around. The lines are uneven, almost like they were drawn quickly or with a shaky hand. The squares look like they’re stuck on—maybe torn paper or fabric—adding a rough texture to the smooth yellow. The figure’s face is just a simple shape with no details, and the whole thing feels a little unfinished. If this style intrigues you, look up gouache next to see how it works.
