Line as a Way In (series)
Three black-and-white drawings where line becomes a world: rhythm, ornament, and fracture.
Alexandra Taushan
Illustrator — black & white graphics (pen / pencil / ink on paper)
I am an illustrator working in black and white — pen, pencil, ink on paper.
I draw book covers, character & narrative illustration, and
graphic series where a single line carries the whole story.
Most of my work begins with a state, not a subject: silence, trance, long immersion in a text.
I follow the rhythm of scales, the curve of ornament, the fracture of a circle — until the image closes itself.
I work with authors, publishers, and brands who need a visual voice — not decoration.
Selected work
Dragon and Blossom
Liner on paper. The body transforms into ornament and returns.
Dragon Through the Broken Circle
Dotted texture against solid black; a circle that no longer holds as a whole.
Two Dragons, One Circle
Black and white flowing into each other; a closed composition built by rhythm.
Book Illustration (series)
Narrative scenes and character moments — black-and-white illustration for a fantasy story.
Interior Scene
Character, objects, and space — a still moment loaded with detail.
Dragon Above the Tower
Mythic scale, cloud mass, and a vertical landmark.
