This black-and-white drawing shows a tangled forest with thick, gnarled trees. Their branches twist together, and the ground is packed with roots and shadows. In the distance, a faint building or bridge peeks through the trees, barely visible. The artist used lots of overlapping lines to build up dark and light spots. It’s like the trees are breathing, all rough and uneven. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
