About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long black dress, walking sideways. She holds a small bouquet of flowers in one hand. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears simple black shoes. The flowers look like a quick sketch, almost like an afterthought. The dress is drawn with clean, confident lines—no extra details, just the shape. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
