This drawing shows a bunch of shapes that look like flowers or leaves, all tangled together. The lines are thick and dark, with lots of shading to make the forms pop out. The whole thing is in black and white, with no color—just different shades of gray. The artist used tiny, crisscrossed lines to build up the shadows and textures. It’s like a puzzle where every piece fits into the next. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
