Legs are crossed at the ankles, with the right foot standing toe-up in front of the left foot, which is planted flat. The man is wearing a cardigan sweater over a collared shirt. The sweater is open. His faceless head is cocked to the left.

This is a sketch of Kenny, a character from the adult cartoon South Park. Kenny is wearing an orange parka. His hood is up with brown fur around the edges.
