This sketch shows a rough, hilly landscape with twisted trees and tangled brush. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like quick pencil strokes. Light and shadow make the scene feel textured, with some areas almost lost in dark marks. The artist focused on rough, natural shapes instead of smooth details. This fits how some artists worked to show real life, not polished views. Next, check out Realism to see more works like this.
