About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing pose. She’s wearing a dark, form-fitting outfit with a bright yellow patch on her hip. Her arms are raised, and she’s balancing a large, flat hat on her fingertips. The drawing feels quick and lively, with loose lines that suggest movement. The bright yellow spot on her outfit stands out against the darker colors. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
