This sketch shows four people in odd poses. One guy on the left holds a wine jug and wears a tall hat with a feather. A woman in a puffy dress dances, reaching out. A small child sits on the ground. The man on the right carries a shovel and a rake, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The drawing looks like a quick study, with loose lines and shading. The artist focused on movement and character over detail. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
