About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, patterned jacket and matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small bag in one hand while her other arm rests on a chair. The lines are simple and confident, with just a few quick strokes for details like her shoes and the chair’s shape. The jacket’s checkered pattern is drawn with quick, even lines, giving it texture without much shading. The word *"Buenas"* is signed in the corner—maybe a nickname for the drawing or a brand name. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes with lines.
