About this work

This drawing is mostly empty space with thin, wavy lines scattered across a blank white background. The lines look like they’re floating—some straight, some curved—without forming any clear shapes or objects. The paper is plain, and the marks are light, almost ghostly. The artist used simple tools: pencil and felt-tip pen. The lines don’t connect or overlap much, just drift around like they’re lost. It’s not a picture of anything real—just marks on paper. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes with lines.
