Mixed Media Figurative Composition in Sketchbook

This is an original mixed media drawing executed on a spiral-bound sketchbook page, oriented horizontally. The composition features a complex, symmetrical arrangement of stylized human figures and geometric forms. The palette is dominated by earthy skin tones, vibrant purples within circular backgrounds, and multicolored geometric accents in teal, yellow, and magenta. Two large, profile-view faces serve as framing elements on the top and bottom (or left and right depending on orientation), their 'foreheads' extending into arms that hold a central, highly stylized, geometric figure adorned with a star-like headdress. Within spherical purple vignettes, four additional figures are rendered with defined musculature and textured hair, appearing in various poses of repose or display. The work is likely contemporary, executed with a combination of colored pencils, ink, and possibly markers. Notable details include the intricate geometric patterns in the center and the delicate shading on the figures. The sketchbook page shows some minor handling wear, including slight smudging near the edges and visible perforation at the top where it remains attached to the spiral binding. No visible artist signature or date is immediately apparent on the front, suggesting it may be a personal study or an unsigned work from an emerging artist. The overall quality suggests a high level of hand-rendering skill and a unique, Afrofuturist-adjacent aesthetic.
