About this work

This sketch shows two people walking side by side along a fence. They’re dressed in long coats and hats, carrying bags, and looking ahead. Behind them, a flat, open field stretches out with a few distant buildings and a barbed-wire fence. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to keep it loose and simple. The background feels empty, almost like a pause in their walk. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
