This sketch shows a simple, rough drawing of a building with a slanted roof and a small tower. The lines are light and loose, with a few darker areas for shadows. At the bottom, there’s a thin line for the ground and a tiny tree or bush on the right. The artist labeled it “Chichester Cathedral,” which means this is a real church being studied. The drawing looks like it’s part of a larger notebook, with other quick sketches in the corners. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
