About this work

This drawing shows a pair of dark, curved objects that look like shoes or boots, but they’re stretched and wobbly. The background is a bright, flat green, almost like a wall. The lines are thick and scratchy, with some areas filled in with ink. The artist used quick, overlapping strokes to build up the shapes—it’s not smooth. The boots’ laces and soles are barely there, just hints of lines. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
