About this work

This drawing shows a woman walking in a simple, loose dress with short sleeves. The lines are quick and sketchy, with just a few flat blue strokes for the background. Her pose is relaxed, one arm swinging naturally, and the fabric folds are suggested with light shading. The drawing looks like it was made fast—maybe while the artist was thinking about how the dress moves. The clothes are the only real focus here, with no extra details. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work on fashion sketches.
