This drawing shows three tall, thin figures standing inside a simple room with a window and door. The figures are drawn with lots of swirling lines and dots, giving them a rough, textured look. The room has straight lines for walls and a floor covered in small dots. The figures don’t look quite real—they’re more like sketches with lots of movement in their shapes. The artist used ink, crayon, and pencil to create this style. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
