This sketch shows a group of people walking together in a park. Men wear tricorne hats and coats, some holding walking sticks. Women carry fans and wear big dresses with puffy sleeves. The background has trees and a faint building outline. The drawing looks quick and loose, like a sketch made on the spot. The artist used light lines to show movement and clothing details. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
