About this work

This sketch shows two simple figures in loose, modern clothes. The person on the left wears a striped suit with orange and gray patterns, while the one on the right has a matching orange top with a short skirt and buttons down the front. A folded jacket lies on the ground between them. The drawing feels quick and rough, like a first idea rather than a finished plan. The lines are uneven, and the colors are just light washes—no shading or detail. This style reminds you of early fashion sketches. Try looking up sleeveless.
