This drawing shows a man standing in the middle of a grid of cows. The cows are all facing different ways, drawn in black and white. The man looks calm, holding something small in his hands. The cows are sketched with lots of pencil lines, making them look textured. The grid behind the man makes the cows feel like they’re repeating endlessly. Try looking up cross-hatching next to see how artists build up shading with lines.
