About this work

This sketch shows a winged figure mid-flight. The body is dark and blurry, almost like smoke. The wings are wild, made of loose, swirling lines that look like wind or feathers. The artist used a printing trick to add texture. The edges of the wings feel almost real, like you could run your fingers through them. Check out how this was made with lithography.
