To the Village

About this work

A man in a long coat and hat stands with his hands in his pockets, looking off to the side. A small dog sits beside him, staring forward. Behind them, a dimly lit street stretches into the distance with bare trees and faint lights. The artist mixed rough sketches with color to create this scene. The man’s coat and the dog’s fur are drawn with quick, uneven lines, while the background is softer and bluer. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
