This drawing is all tangled lines and circles. Thick black marks crisscross everywhere, making a web of shapes. At the center, a bright white circle glows, surrounded by tighter, darker lines. The edges fade into lighter, sketchier strokes, like the drawing was never meant to stop. The lines don’t follow any clear rules—some are sharp, others wobbly. It feels like scribbles that somehow became a whole. The artist used ink, felt-tip pens, and paint, layering them until the paper looks worn. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
