About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long black dress with horizontal lines running down the front. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand in her pocket. To the left, a simple line drawing of the same dress hangs alone. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric folds and movement. The word *Spirales* is written at the top, hinting at the dress’s swirling design. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.

Carven

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