About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing in a dimly lit space. She’s holding her hair up with one hand, her body turned slightly to the side. The background is dark and blurry, making her the main focus. The artist left some quick, rough lines around her, especially on the edges. The paper has a few smudges, like it was worked on fast. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in drawings.
