This sketch shows a bare-shouldered woman standing sideways. Her hair is pulled back loosely, and she rests her left hand on her hip. The drawing is all in soft brown lines, with no background—just her body and a faint outline of the floor. The artist focused on simple shapes and smooth curves, almost like a quick study. The lines are loose but confident, as if drawn fast. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a technique that uses layers of lines to build shadows.
