About this work

This drawing shows a simple line sketch of a woman standing sideways, arms outstretched. She’s wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a small bow on the chest. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few shaded spots for shadows. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner. There’s also a smaller sketch of the same pose on the right side, almost like a practice run. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
