About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a stylish outfit. She’s wearing a dark hat with a pin on the front, a fitted jacket with a checkered pattern, and a belted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the fabric folds and shadows. The checkered jacket looks almost three-dimensional, thanks to how the lines are layered. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
