This drawing shows a lone figure riding a horse through a forest. The trees are tall and thin, with branches that twist around each other. The ground is covered in leaves and small plants, and the whole scene is drawn in red ink with fine lines. The artist used a lot of small, overlapping strokes to fill in shadows and textures, like the horse’s coat and the trees. This gives the drawing a detailed, almost three-dimensional look. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
