This variant is unapologetically analogue. It’s driven by raw pen-and-ink energy: heavy linework, aggressive cross-hatching, uneven stroke pressure, broken contours, and visible paper grain and ink bleed. Colour is minimal to nonexistent, usually black ink on off-white or aged paper, with depth and mood built entirely through line density and directional hatching. Surfaces feel scratched, soaked, and worn; architecture looms through layered marks; figures carry weight through posture rather than polish. It excels at noir, historical, bleak fantasy, and psychological scenes where texture, decay, and human fatigue are the point, and the drawing is allowed to feel imperfect, physical, and slightly angry
