About this work

This sketch shows a seated person drawn in quick, scratchy pencil lines. The face is simple but the hands and arms are tangled, almost like knots. The paper has a light yellow tone, and the lines vary from dark to faint. The artist used lots of overlapping strokes to build up shadows and texture. It feels rushed, like the drawing was made fast. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists use layers of lines like this.
