About this work

This drawing shows a single, delicate snowflake with six sharp points. The lines are dark and sketchy, made with pencil and charcoal. The paper is mostly blank, with just a few faint strokes around the edges. The artist focused on the tiny details of the flake’s shape, making it look almost three-dimensional. The lines overlap in some spots, giving it depth. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
