This sketch looks like quick, loose lines on plain paper. You see a tall, jagged shape that might be a plant or tree, with a few small circles and squiggles scattered around. Some lines cross over each other, and a few shapes look like shoes or eyes. The drawing feels rough and unfinished, like it was made fast. The artist used pencil to make marks that overlap in some spots, creating texture without much detail. It’s just ink on paper—no color, no smooth shapes.
