About this work

This drawing shows a bare-chested man with long hair and a beard, standing upright with one arm raised. His body is turned slightly to the side, and he wears a draped cloth around his waist. The lines around him are sharp and detailed, with light rays behind his head. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to create shadows and depth. This method stacks lines to build up darker areas, making the figure look three-dimensional. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create light and shadow.
