This looks like a close-up of a textured surface with lots of tiny marks. The top half is lighter, with small dots and lines that fade into a pale brown. The bottom half is darker, packed with dense, crisscrossed strokes in black and deep browns—almost like a shadowy forest floor. The way the lines and dots blur together creates a sense of depth without clear shapes. It’s all hand-drawn, with no sharp edges or outlines. If you like this style, check out watercolor glazing next.
