About this work

This drawing is all black and white shapes on graph paper. Big circles, half-circles, and squares are scattered across the page. Some shapes overlap, while others sit alone. The lines are clean, and the black areas stand out against the light background. The artist used pencil and gouache on graph paper, which makes the shapes look precise. The grid in the background adds a structured feel to the whole piece. If you like this style, look up gouache to see how it’s made.
