About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long coat and hat, holding an umbrella. The lines are loose and quick, like a fast drawing. The background is plain, so the focus stays on the figure. The artist used simple ink strokes to suggest clothing and movement. The hat’s brim and coat folds are just a few lines, but you can still tell it’s a person walking. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes with lines.
