This drawing is a perfect circle filled with tight, repeating lines. The lines twist and overlap in a pattern that looks like waves or swirls, all in black ink on a plain white background. There’s no color, just different shades of gray from the overlapping strokes. The artist used a steady hand to create this effect—no mistakes, just endless loops. It’s like looking at a maze that never ends, all packed into one shape. If you like this kind of precise linework, check out cross-hatching.
