This sketch shows a woman’s head turned slightly to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark collar that frames her face. The lines are loose and quick, with shading that’s mostly dark brown against a light paper background. The drawing feels unfinished, like a study rather than a polished portrait. The paper is worn, with tape patches in the corners—maybe it’s been handled a lot. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
