i really like how this illustrator uses different width lines to give the impression of depth -shadow and highlighted areas. i feel it makes the objects more prominent against the white of the page. 

though, myself, i have always been one for shading and tonal work to show shadow areas and highlights, i am surprised that i find this piece just as impressive without it. i like how she has just used line to outline words to give them definition and to show mid tones, and has used block blacks to show the darkest tones in the drawings 

though i think this is a effective piece of work in monochrome, i would be tempted to add a subtle amount of colour just to give a impression/hint to the colours that make up the objects - such as a little bit of yellow inside the lemons. 

after mentioning the subtle amount of colour above i came across this illustration where she has done exactly that! i think this is really effective, especially when she had added block colours but slightly moved the position eg- the windows, the blue she has added does not fit in the outline of the window but slightly behind, i think this makes the piece quite quirky and different.
