This image shows a dark background with a tree trunk and branches in white ink. The bark looks rough, and the branches twist and curve upward. There’s also some writing in white along the trunk, but it’s hard to read. The artist used simple shapes and bold lines to make the tree stand out. The contrast between the black and white makes the branches look almost like they’re moving. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
