About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman walking. She’s wearing a knee-length dress with tiny dots all over it, a matching jacket with a collar, and low heels. Her hair is short and neat, and she holds one hand out to the side. The dots on her clothes look like they’re meant to be polka dots, but they’re drawn quickly. The whole sketch feels loose and quick, like it was made fast. If you like this style, check out stippling next.

Carven

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