About this work

This drawing shows two thin, straight lines floating in empty space. One line sits near the top, the other near the bottom. Both are held up by faint, diagonal lines that look like they’re made of light. The whole thing is simple—just lines and negative space. It’s almost like a sketch for a building, but it’s not quite real. The paper is see-through, and the lines are drawn in pencil and pastel. Next, check out pastel to see how artists use it in different ways.
