Black and white drawings are often used as just a way to sketch out ideas or rough concepts, or to create illustrations that will later be hashed out into full ideas.
However, it is possible to create art in black and white as well, and sketches can be expanded into incredibly detailed and ornate art. Also, because all that is required is a pencil and paper, the workflow is much more natural and allows for freer creative expression.
Here, you’ll find 25 awesome examples of hand drawn black and white artworks, including sketches, doodles, illustrations and designs. Whether it’s surreal artworks reminiscent of Salvador Dali, or intricate and ornate designs that remind you of royalty, these artworks are really incredible.
