Draped Figure Seated

About this work

This sketch shows a person sitting with their legs crossed, wearing a loose piece of fabric draped over their lap. Their arms rest on their knees, and their head is turned slightly to the side. The drawing is quick and loose, with soft shading and a few light green strokes on the cloth. The artist focused on simple shapes and quick lines, which makes the figure look relaxed. The paper has a warm, brownish tone that fits the sketchy style. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth in drawings like this.
