About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a woman’s upper body and head. She’s turned slightly to the side, with one hand resting on her chest and the other near her face. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving it a quick, unfinished feel. The drawing focuses on her face and posture, leaving out any background or extra details. It’s just her, drawn in a way that feels personal and direct. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
