About this work

This sketch looks like a quick, rough drawing in charcoal. The lines are messy and dark in the middle, fading out toward the edges. It’s just a few shapes that could be a curtain or fabric, but it’s hard to tell. The artist used lots of smudged strokes to build up the dark areas. The paper shows through in spots, making it look unfinished. If you like this loose, sketchy style, check out scumbling.
