About this work

This sketch shows a woman wearing a brown suit with a short jacket and matching skirt. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting near her chest. To the sides are flat line drawings of the same jacket and skirt, laid out like patterns. The jacket has two buttons down the front and a slight flare at the hips. The skirt hits just above the knee, paired with simple heels. Next, check out the technique: stippling used in the shading.

About the artist

Artist

Carven

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