This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark suit with one hand on her hip and the other holding a small bag. Her jacket has a slightly messy look, like she just walked in from outside. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the floor beneath her. The artist’s signature, *Etaim*, is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname or the title. The drawing feels quick, like a snapshot of a moment rather than a polished study. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
