Palm seller, scene of city life

Create a light sketch of the overall composition, focusing on the figure's proportions and placement within the scene.

Outline the main shapes of the figure, wall, and flowers.

Begin adding the darkest values using hatching and cross-hatching, concentrating on areas of shadow and detail.

Gradually build up the mid-tones by adding more layers of hatching, varying the density and direction of the lines.

Use lighter hatching to create highlights and areas of reflected light.

Pay close attention to the textures of the wall, clothing, and flowers, using different hatching techniques to represent each.

Refine the details of the face and hands, using delicate lines to capture the expression and form.

Add final touches and adjust the values to create a sense of depth and realism.
