About this work

This sketch shows a busy city scene with lots of jagged lines. Buildings crowd the left side, their rooftops tangled with wires. People walk, ride bikes, and stand around, all drawn in quick, sharp strokes. Trees stretch tall, their branches twisting like scribbled notes. The lines overlap everywhere, making the whole scene feel messy but alive. The paper has a rough texture, and the artist used different line weights to show depth. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this was made.
