About this work

This page holds two quick sketches of a loose, draped garment. One drawing is packed with tight, crisscrossed lines, while the other is a simpler outline with a few flowing ties. The paper is pale, with a few small circular punch marks along the left edge. The word "Royalo" is written in cursive near the top right sketch. The dense lines in the first drawing might be a way to show texture or fabric weight without color. The artist’s handwriting is neat but informal, like a quick note. If you like these sketches, look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to build form.

About the artist

Artist

Carven

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