This sketch shows a reclining nude figure lying on their side, one arm stretched out in front. The head is turned slightly, and the body is drawn with loose, flowing lines. The paper is plain, and the drawing uses only pencil strokes—no shading or color. The artist focused on quick, confident strokes to suggest form rather than detail. The figure’s relaxed pose and simple background keep the focus on the shape of the body. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
