About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright pink dress with one strap. The skirt flares out wide, and the fabric looks soft. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing simple black heels. The dress’s single strap is a small but bold choice—it’s not what you’d expect in formal wear. The loose, flowing skirt gives it a light, almost dance-like feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build form with lines.
