About this work

This sketch shows a loose, wavy figure drawn in pencil. The lines are quick and uneven, almost like scribbles. One hand rests on the hip, and the face has big, simple eyes. The paper has faint grid lines, and the artist signed it in the corner. The drawing looks like a fast, rough study—maybe just a few minutes of work. The lines overlap in some spots, giving it a scratchy feel. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
