About this work

This drawing shows a person lying down, half-covered by a sheet. Their arm rests on their forehead, and the background is mostly empty. The lines are thick and dark, with some areas filled in with shading. The artist used only pencil, building up shadows and shapes with careful strokes. It feels quiet and a little mysterious. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like this.
