This sketch shows a man’s side profile, facing left. His hair is thick and wavy, his beard neatly trimmed. He wears a high-collared jacket with a striped pattern. The lines are loose, almost like quick pencil strokes. The artist focused on shading to show light and shadow on his face. This style helps the drawing look three-dimensional. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for depth.
