About this work

This sketch shows four quick drawings. Top left is a face—just lines and shading for a woman’s head. The other three show groups of people: one side view of a woman with a child, another of a man carrying a bundle, and a group of three standing together. The face sketch uses only pencil strokes to show wrinkles and hair. The other drawings mix watercolor for clothes and backgrounds. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
