About this work

This sketch shows two figures walking side by side. Their clothes are drawn with quick, rough lines. The paper looks old and brown, like it’s been handled a lot. The artist used lots of crisscrossed lines to fill in shadows. This makes the figures look three-dimensional even though it’s just ink on paper. Want to see more? Look up *cross-hatching*.
