This sketch shows a tall stone church with a pointed tower and a big arched doorway. The walls have lots of small windows, and the roof has fancy edges with little spires. In front, there’s a low hedge and a fence with a gate. The artist used ink and brown wash to make the lines and shading. The dark lines create texture, especially on the stone and bushes. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
