About this work

This sketch shows a man with a mustache, leaning forward slightly. His hands are clasped together near his chest, and one finger rests on his chin. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished look. The artist used ink to build up the image with lots of small lines layered on top of each other. This makes the shading look textured rather than smooth. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
