This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.
A drawing made almost entirely of a single searching contour line that wanders, doubles back on itself and leaves gaps where the hand lifted. Two or three small patches of flat colour dropped in without following the line, plain white paper everywhere else, not a single closed shape in the drawing. Confident, fast, unfinished. No shading, no hatching. Subject: a figure in a cap looking down.

Tips
- 1Gaps in the line are essential. A closed outline makes it clip art.
