Ignorant
Crude on purpose — naive line, no polish.
What it is
Wobbly, childlike drawing done deliberately: uneven line weight, awkward proportion, jokes. A rejection of technical display that takes real confidence to pull off.
Best for
Small, funny, personal pieces that would be ruined by being done well.
