About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a square neckline. The dress has a loose, flowing skirt that ends just above her ankles. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and has her hair pulled back neatly. The dress has a few small bows at the waist and hem, adding a subtle detail. The drawing looks quick and loose, with some lines left unfinished. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with layers of lines.

Carven

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