About this work

This drawing shows a person ice skating. They're wearing a black outfit, including a jacket and pants, with a belt around their waist. Their face is not visible. The skater is holding onto ski poles and is standing on one leg, with the other leg bent behind them. The background is a plain beige color, with some faint lines and marks that suggest the presence of other objects or people. The drawing is done in a simple, yet expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. It captures the dynamic movement of the skater and conveys a sense of energy and freedom. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you could look into cross-hatching.
