'We came out of the dark.'

'We think and understand - we adapt.'

'We have become powerful - perhaps too powerful...'

Steps

I inverted the original picture (on the computer) into a bright version and with that I made the bright drawing. After that I scanned the drawing and inverted it on the computer.

In addition to the computer-inversion I changed the contrast to the value -15. Otherwise, I have not made any changes to the drawing.

First I show the 'real' drawing on the paper and then the steps.



This time the pre-drawing and the black shadows are only minimal, so I'll spare them and put the inverted images side by side.
