This sketch shows a few flowers drawn in loose, wavy lines. The ink is a brownish color, almost like tea stains. The petals and stems look quick and uneven, like they were drawn fast. The artist used a simple, sketchy style—no details, just shapes. The flowers aren’t realistic; they’re more like quick notes than a finished drawing. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
