About this work

This drawing shows a giant person and a giant tree on a plain background. The figures stand close but don’t touch. Everything is in black and white. Karlaftopoulos draws all his pictures this way. He uses only black lines on white paper. The lines are thick and thin, light and dark. This makes the giants look soft and heavy at once. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how line density changes tone.
