About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red, textured outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and long skirt, with a belt at her waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding something small in her left hand. The sketch is loose and quick, with simple lines and shading. The red fabric looks almost dotted, like tiny specks. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create texture with lines.
