About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, greenish outfit standing sideways. She wears a short jacket with a textured pattern, a matching skirt, and low heels. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a small object in one hand. The drawing includes a basic sketch of the same outfit from the front, like a quick style guide. The lines are loose but clear, focusing on the clothes’ shape. Next, look up womenswear to see how fashion sketches like this shaped real clothing.
