About this work

This drawing looks like a tangled mess of shapes and lines. Black ink sprawls across the page in rough, uneven strokes—some thick, some thin—forming overlapping forms that don’t quite look like anything real. The paper is mostly white, with the dark marks standing out sharply. The artist used quick, confident strokes, like they were sketching fast and letting the lines pile up. The marks feel urgent, almost like scribbles, but they’re carefully arranged. If you like this style, try looking up lithography to see how it works.
