This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with a tall tree on the left and a rocky outcrop on the right. In the middle, a small wooden fence runs along the ground. The artist used dark lines and shading to show the texture of bark, leaves, and rocks. The charcoal looks rough in places, almost like the artist scratched or smudged it. This gives the scene a natural, uneven feel. Check out scumbling to see how artists create soft, blended textures like this one.
