About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long red coat and hat, walking with one arm outstretched. The lines are simple but confident, and the red stands out against the plain background. The drawing looks quick, almost like a snapshot of motion. The artist signed it "Corail" and wrote "27" in the corner—maybe a title or a number. The style feels loose and modern, like it was drawn fast. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
