1844 - Young Karl Marx - A Pizza Box Sketch in Dry Erase Crayon

I saw this illustration and re-drawing of an early drawing of Karl Marx



I posted the image on Imgur after flipping it to make it a little different - https://i.imgur.com/2OuQEtF.png I enjoyed seeing the image on my kitchen computer screen and grabbed a blank piece of cardboard hand from a frozen pizza box. I sketched with an erasable crayon I had on the desk in front of the computer screen. I wanted to understand the drawing by copying it. When I finished the quick drawing I put the cardboard against the large kitchen window blind.

As I skated back and forth in and out of the kitchen I began to like my drawing more and did not think of it as a preliminary sketch or exercise. So.... I scanned the work and put it online
