About this work

This drawing shows a person in a simple pose, leaning slightly on one arm. They’re wearing a light shirt with buttons, bright orange trousers, and low-heeled shoes. Their hair is pulled back neatly, and they’re standing against a plain background. The artist focused on the clean lines of the outfit, especially the trousers. The orange color stands out against the muted tones, making the legs look long and smooth. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
