About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, striped dress and a matching jacket. The lines are bold and simple, with dark ink on a light background. Her left hand rests on her hip, and her right arm hangs loosely. The stripes on her dress are drawn with quick, parallel lines—almost like a pattern. The artist’s loose style makes the outfit look modern and easy. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to create texture.
