About this work

This drawing shows two simple shapes: a small triangle and a larger one, both tilted. The lines are faint, almost like they’re sketched in light pencil. The background is mostly blank, with just a hint of color around the edges. The artist used colored pencil to keep it soft and quiet. The shapes look like they’re floating, with no extra details to distract you. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
