This painting shows two close-up faces, one above the other, on black paper. The colors are soft—pink, blue, and green—blended with colored pencils. The top face looks sideways, with a hint of a hat or hair. The bottom face is more detailed, with a blue collar and shadowy background. The artist used colored pencils on dark paper to make the faces stand out. The lines are thick in some spots, giving texture to the skin and clothes. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
