About this work

This sketch shows a simple, clean drawing of a woman in a sleek outfit. She wears a short, dark coat with a black-and-white pattern over a plain dress, paired with a round hat. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole scene feels quick and modern. The small sketch in the corner suggests this is a design drawing for the coat itself. The artist’s signature at the bottom is small and neat. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
