Spanish term or phrase: a mano alzada
From a doctoral thesis on architectural history:

En la tercera etapa el criterio utilizado generalmente en los dibujos por la mayoría de los autores
es el tratamiento superficial en color rojo o carmín, con la excepción de Manuel Chápuli, que sigue empleando el rayado a 45º y a mano alzada.
