About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, green-and-white plaid coat with big pockets and a simple collar. She stands straight, one hand in her pocket, the other holding a small bag. Next to her is a flat drawing of the coat itself, showing its clean lines and three buttons down the front. The coat looks practical but stylish, with a mix of bold plaid and sharp edges. The drawing style is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. Next, check out Carven to see more of their work.
