This drawing is mostly black ink splashed in the center, with quick, wavy lines all around it. The lines crisscross the paper in different directions, some thin and some thick. There’s a sense of movement, like something is swirling or falling apart. The black blob looks like a shadow or a figure, but it’s not clear what it’s supposed to be. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel fast and rough, like it was drawn in one go. If you like this style, check out Robert Motherwell.
