About this work

This sketch shows a simple, rough drawing of a standing nude woman. The lines are scratchy and uneven, almost like hurried scribbles. Her body is turned slightly to the side, with one arm bent at the elbow and the other hanging loose. The artist used a technique that leaves dark, thick marks in some spots and lighter lines elsewhere. It looks like the paper itself is part of the drawing. Want to see how this was made?
