This sketch shows a simple figure in a long coat and pants, drawn in quick, loose lines. The coat and pants have light green stripes made with faint pencil marks. The figure’s arms are bent at the elbows, and the legs are drawn straight but tilted slightly. The stripes are drawn with a technique that layers lines to create shading. This makes the clothes look like they have texture without much detail. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
