About this work

This sketch shows two dogs curled up together, resting on the ground. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw their fur and shapes, leaving some areas blank to show light. One dog’s head is tucked under its body, while the other’s ears stick up. The drawing looks like it was made fast—maybe even in one go. The artist used black crayon on light paper, so the lines stand out clearly. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of drawing works.
