This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with bold stripes. The jacket has a clean collar and long sleeves, while the skirt flares out slightly. The lines are loose but confident, with shading that suggests fabric texture. The name "Calape" is written at the top, and the drawing feels like a quick study of movement and shape. The stripes on the dress are drawn with quick, parallel lines—almost like a pattern. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
