This is a drawing of an animal resembling a hare. The composition is executed in a loose, expressive style using black ink on a white background. The creature is depicted in a curled resting position, with its large ears folded back and an eye prominently featured at the center. The use of bold lines and varying thicknesses creates movement throughout the outline of the animal. Hatching and cross-hatching techniques add texture and volume to its fur. The drawing captures an essence of wildness and vitality, emphasized by the energy of the strokes.

This is a drawing of a figure interacting with a burst of light. The figure is sketched in white against a dark background, with its arms outstretched toward a radiant burst of light or energy emanating from the right side of the image. Light and shadow create contrast, depth, and motion. The figure seems to be seated and partially enveloped in the light, which spreads dynamically, suggesting movement and a connection with the energetic force. The drawing has a textured, grainy effect on a wood-like background, emphasizing its raw quality.
