About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, boxy jacket and a high-waisted skirt. The jacket has a few buttons and pockets, and the skirt flares out at the bottom. The lines are simple but confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The drawing focuses on the shape and cut of the clothes, not the face or background. The name "Deauville" is written in the corner—maybe a place or a style reference. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with layered lines.

Carven

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