This painting is all black ink on white paper. The lines are thick and tangled, like a storm of scribbles filling the whole space. There’s no clear shape or background—just a messy, swirling mass of marks. The artist used ink to create a dense, chaotic pattern. It looks like they let the pen move freely, without planning each stroke. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
