About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a light green outfit. She wears a matching jacket with two pockets and a dark green hat. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she has on black heels. The drawing looks clean and precise, with no shading except for a few quick lines on the face. The colors are flat and even, making the outfit stand out. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
