About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a crisscross pattern. Her skirt flares slightly, and she wears a headband. The lines are simple but precise, with a few flat colors for the face and shoes. The dress looks like it’s made of woven fabric, with a bold geometric design. The artist used clean, sharp lines to show the folds and shape. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
