This sketch shows two men standing side by side on a beach. One has his back to us, wearing a dark coat with a belt, while the other faces slightly left, holding a cigarette. Behind them, the sand meets the water, and a few boats sit on the shore. The artist used quick, loose lines to sketch the scene, focusing on shapes over details. The men’s clothes and posture suggest a casual moment, maybe a break or a chat. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
