About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short-sleeve shirt with a bow tie, a fitted belt, and a flared skirt that hits just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back under a small cap, and she’s holding a small purse in one hand. The fabric has a textured look, almost like brushstrokes or shading. The name *Daisy* is scrawled in the top corner, giving the drawing a friendly, almost personal feel. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist was more interested in shapes and movement than perfect details. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
