This drawing looks like a wild mix of animals and people. On the left, there’s a big elephant with a cross on its side. To the right sits a crocodile wearing a hat and holding a spear. The background is full of messy lines and dots—like a jungle with trees and vines. The artist used lots of quick, sketchy marks. It feels unfinished, almost like a storyboard. The colors are simple: mostly browns, greens, and whites. Want to see more like this? Check out Wael Shawky.
