About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a short-sleeved blouse with vertical stripes and a belt at the waist. The skirt is loose and flared, falling just above her knees. Her hands rest lightly in her pockets, and she’s wearing small earrings and a headband. The drawing uses quick, clean lines with some shading to show fabric texture. The artist kept it minimal, focusing on shape and movement. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
