About this work

This drawing looks like a tangle of rough, black lines on paper. No clear shapes. Just energy. The lines bunch up in some spots and thin out in others. That’s called cross-hatching — it makes the drawing feel full and busy. Alex Mylona used this trick to build up dark and light without any color. Try drawing like this. Grab a pencil and scribble fast. See how it changes.
