Challenge: Learn Intermediate CSS by Building a Picasso Painting - Step 50

Link to the challenge:

technically your syntax is correct but you “wrote” the div INSIDE black-character

Click Restart Step to bring back the original code
and you can see the div with id black-character in line 27 wrapping div with id black-hat, gray-mask, and white-paper and the closing div of black-character is in line 39

I know sometimes it’s quite chalenging to see so many tags, that’s why indentation is important to improve readibility
Hope this will help. Happy coding
