This sketch shows three men walking on a dirt path toward a long line of people standing behind a fence. The men in the front are dressed in coats, and one is reaching out to the others. The people in the background are all facing the same way, standing close together. The artist used simple lines and shading to show the scene, making it look almost like a quick sketch. The fence and the way the people are lined up feel orderly, but the mood is tense. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
