About this work

This drawing shows a simple line sketch of a nude female torso. The lines are loose and wavy, marking the shape without much detail. There’s no background—just the outline of a body on plain paper. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to suggest form. The sketch feels more like a quick study than a finished work. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
