This drawing is all thin, tangled lines crammed together. No shapes or colors—just black strokes overlapping a white background. The lines twist and bump into each other, filling the whole square space with a messy, busy pattern. The artist used a simple trick: lots of tiny, overlapping strokes to build up the dark areas. It’s like a sketch where every line matters, but nothing is clear. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
