This sketch shows a simple building with a tall tower and a bridge crossing above it. The lines are quick and shaky, like someone scribbling fast. Trees and rooftops are drawn with loose strokes, almost like doodles. The artist scribbled notes in German around the edges, maybe describing what they saw. The ink is all black, with some areas filled in by adding lots of tiny parallel lines. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark areas this way.
