This drawing shows a simple, inked figure sitting on the ground. The person’s back is turned, and their legs are bent with feet tucked under. The lines are loose and quick, with no extra details—just the shape of the body and a few small marks for hands and feet. The artist used ink in a way that looks almost like a sketch, with no shading or color. The paper’s light tone makes the dark lines stand out clearly. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
