This drawing looks like a blurry map of the U.S. It’s all in gray pencil, with soft lines that fade in and out. The edges of the states are hard to make out, but you can still tell it’s the shape of America. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create the whole thing. It’s not a map you’d use to find a place—it’s more like a sketch of the country’s shape. If you like this style, check out stippling.
