About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit with a short jacket and a long skirt. Her red-and-black checkered tie stands out against the dark fabric. She’s holding a small object in one hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The title *Cucaracha* is written in the corner—it’s not clear why, but it’s a fun detail. The style is loose and sketchy, like a quick fashion doodle. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work.
