Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subjects being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. The above sketch by the artist depicts a man preparing a stick made of coconut shell, rendered with coarse, repetitive pencil strokes delineating the forms and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
