About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a black-and-white striped suit with a matching jacket and pants. Her hands rest on her hips, and she wears red gloves, a red hat, and pointed shoes. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the outfit. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the figure, with some shading on the face and hands. The stripes on the suit are drawn with short, parallel lines. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
