About this work

This drawing shows a piece of paper folded in half. One side is plain white. The other side has two dark gray squares split by a diagonal line. The lines are made by tiny pencil marks packed close together. The paper’s fold creates a sharp edge between the two halves. The dark squares look heavy, while the white side feels light. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
