About this work

This sketch shows a seated nude figure drawn in pencil. The person’s body is turned slightly to the side, with one leg bent and the other foot resting on the ground. Their hair is loose, falling over their shoulders. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a rough, unfinished feel. The artist used simple strokes to suggest form rather than detail. The paper’s texture is visible, adding to the sketchy quality. This style makes the figure look more like a quick study than a polished work. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build form with lines.
