About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black suit with a bright yellow hat. She’s standing sideways, one hand adjusting her collar, the other resting on her hip. The lines are bold and simple, with no background—just her against a plain light color. The name *Echo* is written in the corner, and the suit looks modern and polished. The artist used clean, sharp lines to show the fabric’s texture. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
