This drawing shows a man with a serious look, wearing a dark coat and a white collar. His face is pale with dark shadows under the eyes, and his hair is short and messy. The background is mostly black, making his face stand out. The rough, sketchy lines suggest the artist worked quickly. The dark areas might be made with heavy shading or even scratching into the paper. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shadows this way.
