About this work

This drawing shows two dark, square shapes side by side on a light background. The squares look like they’re made of messy, overlapping pencil lines. There’s a faint outline around them, almost like a frame within a frame. The artist used only pencil, layering lines to fill the squares completely. It’s not a picture of anything real—just shapes and texture. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next.
