About this work

This drawing shows a rough, inked landscape with jagged lines. The trees and mountains look like they’re made of quick, sketchy strokes—no smooth shapes. The paper is mostly white, with dark ink marking the trees, rocks, and sky. The artist used a lot of tiny lines layered on top of each other to build up the dark areas. It’s like the ink is almost scratchy to the touch. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
