This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a suit. The face is drawn with thick, uneven lines—some sharp, some wobbly—giving it a rough, sketchy look. The hair is messy, almost like quick strokes, and the tie is just a few bold marks. The artist used heavy pencil and ink, almost like scribbling but controlled. It’s not polished; it feels fast and raw. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
