About this work

This sketch shows a close-up of a man’s face, drawn in thick black lines. His mouth is open wide, like he’s shouting or gasping. The background is a dark, textured block, making his face stand out sharply. The lines are rough and uneven, giving the face a raw, almost frantic look. The artist used a technique that relies on scratching into a metal plate to create the lines. Next, check out *drypoint* to see how this kind of scratchy, intense drawing works.
