This drawing shows a single flower in black and white. The petals are thin, layered lines that curl outward, while the center stays soft and shaded. The stem fades into a dark, smudged shape at the bottom. The artist used pencil to build up texture—some parts look almost carved, others blend like watercolor. It’s just one flower, but the details make it feel alive. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how other artists use lines to create depth.
