About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a deep V-neck. One hand rests lightly on her hip while the other touches her cheek. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes that suggest fabric and movement. The artist signed it "Siva" in the corner, but the name might actually be the designer’s label. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished work. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a technique that builds texture with layers of lines.

Carven

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