This sketch shows a stick-figure person with long, tangled hair and a loose, flowing dress. Their arms are raised, and they’re holding something small near their chest. The lines are quick and uneven, like a hurried sketch. The drawing uses lots of small, crisscrossed lines to fill in the shapes, especially in the hair and dress. It looks like the artist was experimenting with how shading works in simple drawings. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
