About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple black outfit with a matching jacket and skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing pointed shoes. Next to her is a flat sketch of the same jacket, as if it’s being designed. The artist used quick, clean lines to show the outfit’s shape. The black fabric looks textured, almost like tiny dots fill it in. Check out stippling to see how artists create texture with dots.

Carven

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