About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long black coat with big buttons down the front. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The coat looks soft and slightly shiny, with a high collar and long sleeves. Notice the small sketch in the corner—it’s the coat’s back view, showing how it fits. The lines are simple but precise, focusing on the coat’s shape. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.

Carven

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