About this work

Two gray elephants stand side by side, holding their trunks up like they’re clapping. Their faces are simple and round, with big eyes and small tusks. The background is a bright green with quick, scratchy lines that look like grass or brushstrokes. The title at the top reads *Mi-am făcut autocritica*—which means the artist might be poking fun at their own work. The elephants’ happy, almost silly expressions make it feel playful. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
