This sketch shows a loose, rough landscape with faint lines and smudges. The paper is mostly white, with light gray and dark patches marking hills or trees. The edges are uneven, like it was torn or worn over time. The drawing feels quick and unfinished, almost like a first try. The artist used thin, sketchy lines to suggest shapes instead of clear details. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
