Line-carved gekiga look

Black-and-white Japanese manga. Fine parallel pen lines deeply carve facial relief and muscles. Both men and women have thick dark eyebrows, deeply recessed eyes, square jaws and prominent cheekbones. Firmly built bodies about seven to eight heads tall. Hair is bundles of fine flowing lines. Almost no solid black or screentone; leave broad white paper. A few parallel lines suggest distant backgrounds. Weighty dramatic realism. No text, speech balloons, panel borders, signatures or watermarks. Subject: An adult male and female mountain guide consult a map on a wooden table. He has short hair and she has tied-back hair; rolled-sleeve shirts. A chest-up view shows their faces and hands. The map has no writing.
