This sketch shows old stone ruins on a hillside. The buildings look crumbling, with arches and broken walls. A tall tower stands on the right, while a smaller arched structure sits below. The ground slopes down to a dark, winding stream at the bottom. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show light and shadow. The paper looks rough, almost like the scene itself. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
