About this work

This sketch shows a woman’s face drawn in quick, sketchy lines. Her hair is pulled back, and her gaze is serious but not harsh. The image is black and white, with shading that gives her face a slightly textured look. The drawing looks like it was done fast, almost like a quick study. It’s not polished but still catches her expression well. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro to see how shading can add depth.
