Looks that sit near it
- Navy ink, pencil shadowsOne heavy navy line, flat grainy fills that sit a little off the line, and cast shadows hatched in blue-violet coloured pencil on plain cream paper.
- Banknote engravingFine parallel lines whose width carries the shading, spirograph rosettes and red serials on cream security paper. He swells until the note bends.
- Kawaii watercolourBoxy characters with kaomoji faces, wobbly marker line over pastel watercolour washes.
- Field-guide illustrationHatched ink on cream paper over wide diagonal stripes. Every line swells and thins like a pen, each outline is a darker shade of its own colour, and the fills carry a soft wash.
