About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a plaid outfit, with a jacket and skirt, and a white hat. She's standing with her left leg slightly bent, and her right arm is bent at the elbow. The drawing is done in brown and green, with some white accents. The woman's face is turned to the right, and she has a neutral expression. The drawing is simple, but it gives a sense of the woman's style and personality. If you want to learn more about this kind of fashion illustration, you might want to look up the artist Carven.
