About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long, loose coat with big lapels. The coat is a warm brown, and the sleeves are slightly puffy at the shoulders. The person’s pose is relaxed, with one hand in a pocket and the other resting on the hip. The lines are quick and simple, almost like a quick doodle. The artist signed it "Chipirod" in the corner—maybe a nickname or a play on words. The drawing feels more like a fashion study than a finished portrait. If you like this loose, sketchy style, check out cross-hatching next.
