About this work

This sketch shows a mix of rough wooden beams and simple floor plans. Some parts look like real buildings with walls and doors, while others are just abstract shapes. Tiny figures stand in a few spots, giving a sense of scale. The drawing uses heavy lines to show shadows and texture, especially on the wood. It’s almost like a blueprint but with more artistic freedom. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
