About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a round neckline and short sleeves. The dress is light blue with small white polka dots, and the skirt flares out slightly. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with rough lines and no extra details. The name "Sierra" is written in the corner, and there’s a bit of cross-hatching on the right side. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to add texture.

Carven

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