About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, dressed in a simple black outfit. Her hair is styled in a high, loose updo with a few curls framing her face. The drawing is clean and minimal, using mostly black and beige tones. The woman’s outfit looks sleek and modern, with a deep back slit in her top. The artist used quick, confident lines to capture her pose and shape. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
