Illustration Style Description

– The visual style is bold, primitive, and symbolic, evoking folklore.
– Executed in high-contrast black and white, rendered in thick, gestural strokes.
– Recalling woodcut prints, cave paintings, or early outsider art, with a tactile, almost carved quality to the form.
– The overall composition has a raw, expressive energy, making the illustration feel old, handmade, and emotional.
– Aiming for a sense of the archetypal, the mysterious, or the primeval β€” particularly where themes of the subconscious, folklore, or surrealism are being explored.
