About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a simple outfit. She wears a short-sleeved top and a knee-length skirt with a swirling pattern. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing low heels. The lines are loose and quick, with watercolor shading for the fabric. The name *Eve* is written in the top corner, maybe as a model’s nickname. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished final piece. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
