This drawing shows a rough, sketchy figure of a person without clothes. The lines are uneven, almost like bones under skin, with quick, shaky strokes. The face is blurred, and the body looks twisted, with one arm bent oddly. The artist used charcoal to make the marks look scratchy and raw. The paper is light, so the dark lines stand out sharply. Check out scumbling to see how artists create texture with charcoal.
