This sketch shows a busy scene outside a building with a crowd of people. Some are standing on steps, others are gathered near a doorway, and a few are climbing up. One person is holding a flag with a hat on top. At the bottom right, a man in a long coat walks past a small group. The drawing looks rough and fast, like quick notes rather than a finished picture. The artist used lots of lines to build up shapes and shading. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
