About this work

This sketch shows a simple figure in a loose, sleeveless dress with a boxy shape. The arms are stretched out—one up, one down—as if mid-motion. The fabric has quick, sketchy lines, and the face is just a dark oval with no details. The name *Cambodge* is signed in the corner, but the style feels more about quick ideas than realism. The dress looks like something you’d wear in warm weather, with clean lines and no frills. If you like this sketchy style, check out Carven—they designed real clothes too.
