About this work

This drawing shows two figures standing close together under a tree. Their outlines are made with thin, dark lines, and the background looks like rough, textured paper. The figures’ faces are simple shapes, almost like sketches, and the tree above them has a few branches. The drawing feels unfinished, with some areas smudged or erased. The paper itself looks old, with stains and wear that make it look like it’s been handled a lot. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up shading with layers of lines.
