About this work

This sketch shows four quick drawings of people walking with bags. The lines are loose and wobbly, like someone doodling fast. The figures wear coats and carry suitcases or shoulder bags, but their faces are just simple shapes. The drawings look taped together in sections, with crayon shading added later. It’s like someone cut out shapes and stuck them down, then filled in details by hand. Try looking up chiaroscuro next to see how shading works in other sketches.
