This sketch shows two women in big hats and long coats. One sits in a chair, the other leans forward like she’s talking. Their clothes look stiff and heavy. The background has a checkerboard floor and some wavy lines. The artist used lots of crisscrossed lines to fill in shadows. It looks like they were drawn fast—no smooth curves. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
