About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, tailored coat with big pockets and a belt. The coat is a soft brown color, and she wears a matching hat. Her arms are out to the sides, and the coat looks loose but structured. The sketch is simple but precise, with clean lines and minimal shading. The coat’s pockets have a small bow detail, and the belt is tied neatly at the waist. Next, check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
