This piece is called "swirling lines". Although all of these lines are straight, the overlapping lines give an illusion of curved lines. This is drawn entirely in pencil. The mix of light lines and dark lines make some lines stick out. I learned that a darker line makes the image seem closer than a lighter line does. The art element I tried to use in this piece was the use of negative space. The negative space and overlapping straight lines work together to fill the page with a swirling image that also pops out to create a somewhat 3D figure.
