About this work

You see two faces pressed close, noses almost touching, eyes closed in a quiet kiss. The lines are loose but sure—no erasing, no second guesses. Deane drew this when he was only twenty, before he left Brazil for good. The paper is thin, almost see-through, so the light picks up every pencil mark. Look up cross-hatching to see how tiny overlapping lines can make skin feel soft.
