The skull is rendered with fine crack lines, crosshatch shadows, and bold edges. The roses use a blackwork style with heavy line patterns, and smoky wisps drift from behind, giving the design eerie depth without using any color. There is room along the bottom edge to place a short quote. All components are crisp black ink only—no shading or color—perfectly formatted for adult coloring book pages in a gothic, dramatic theme.” in the style of realistic.
