About this work

This sketch shows two soldiers walking side by side. Both wear matching uniforms with tall boots, belts, and feathered hats. One holds a rifle, the other has his hands in his pockets. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and shading. The date "1941" is scrawled in the corner, hinting this might be from a time of war. The soldiers look tired but determined, their posture relaxed but alert. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines like these.
