This drawing shows a simple, tall arch made of smooth, vertical lines. The lines are all the same teal-green color, packed tightly together like a curtain or a wave. At the bottom, the arch meets a flat base with a tiny square cutout. The artist used only felt-tip pen and pencil, making every line look hand-drawn and precise. The effect is almost like looking at a wave frozen in time. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
