This drawing shows a ghostly figure made of layered, see-through shapes. The form looks like a person with a halo, but it’s all soft, overlapping circles and curves. The whole thing is in shades of gray and white, with no hard lines—just smooth, fading edges. The artist used a simple trick: they stacked lots of thin, curved lines to build up the form. It’s like tracing over and over until the shape pops out of the paper. Check out Roman Verostko to see more of his layered, dreamy drawings.
