This drawing looks like a grid of numbers, colors, and zigzag lines on graph paper. The top has a rainbow-colored stripe on the left, with black zigzags stretching across. Below that, rows of small, colored numbers fill the space, each number in its own square. The bottom half repeats the zigzag pattern but with fewer colors. The numbers and lines don’t seem random—they’re carefully mapped out, like a code or a puzzle. The zigzags create a wavy, almost musical shape, while the numbers add a strict, orderly feel. If this style intrigues you, look up cross-hatching next.
