About this work

This sketch shows two nude women sitting back-to-back. Their bodies are drawn in simple, flowing lines with just a few shadows for depth. Both have dark, rounded buns on their heads, and their faces are turned slightly away. The artist kept the drawing loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The lines are light and soft, with no heavy shading. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
