This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress standing sideways. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she holds a small object in each hand. The lines are simple and quick, with some shading on her dress and sleeves. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest fabric folds and volume. The drawing feels like a quick study rather than a finished piece. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
