Girl with braided hair - Back view




This pen and ink sketch, titled "Girl with Braided Hair – Back View," captures the serene beauty and elegance of a traditionally braided hairstyle from behind. I have focused on delicate lines and flowing forms in the hair to highlight simplicity and grace, while adding floral motifs on the dress for a gentle artistic touch. This artwork reflects a quiet moment and celebrates everyday charm through minimalistic yet expressive strokes.
