About this work

This sketch shows a side view of a person in a long, loose outfit with diagonal stripes and small dots. The fabric looks soft and slightly wrinkled, especially around the arms. One hand is raised, as if adjusting something, while the other rests at the side. In the corner, there’s a simple back view of the same outfit, drawn in quick, clean lines. The dots on the fabric might be a way to show texture without too much detail. The drawing feels quick and rough, like a first idea rather than a finished design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their work.
