This drawing shows a few quick sketches of a person’s body in different poses. The lines are loose and sketchy, with some areas filled in darker to show shadows. One figure stands with arms raised, another kneels, and a hand is drawn separately at the bottom left. The artist focused on how the body moves, using simple shapes and shading to suggest form. The paper has a worn look, like it was worked on over time. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up tone with layers of lines.
