Figure Walking Past Something

Dayo Marsh

Created 21 August 2026 at 07:56

A figure builds upward in heavy yellow line from two splayed legs - one cut short, the other rising through a hip joint toward the head, which is clearly the part the hand cared about most: a curved jaw, crosshatched hair, small marks for eyes, the pressure thickening where the pen doubled back to correct itself. A separate arc stands apart to the right, its curve implying a doorway or wall without settling on either - the gap between it and the figure doing as much work as anything actually drawn.
