About this work

This sketch shows a face drawn in quick, rough lines. The hair and beard are made of short, crisscrossed strokes that fill in the shape. The eyes and mouth are simple but clear, with a few bold lines. The artist used lots of overlapping lines to build up dark areas, especially in the hair and shadows. It looks like they were drawing fast, maybe even while standing up. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how this technique works in other art.
