This drawing looks like a close-up of a human spine. The vertebrae are stacked in the middle, with ribs fanning out on both sides. The lines are all sketchy and uneven, like they were drawn fast with a felt-tip pen. The whole thing is black and white, with some shading to show depth. The artist used a lot of tiny, repeating lines to fill in each bone. It’s almost like the drawing is made of texture instead of smooth shapes. Next, check out Jan Lebenstein to see more of his work.
