About this work

This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a standing figure. The lines are simple and dark, with a focus on the body’s shape—shoulders, hips, and legs. The figure’s head is small, almost like a thought bubble, and the arms are raised slightly. In the corner, there’s a tiny second figure, barely more than a stick-person. The name *Follette* is scrawled in the top right, maybe the model’s name or a nickname. The drawing feels more like a fast study than a finished work—just a few strokes to capture movement and form. If you like quick, sketchy drawings, look up cross-hatching.
