Lewisohn Stadium, New York

About this work

This sketch shows a crowded stadium with rows of seats and scattered people. Some are sitting, some are standing, and a few seem to be playing instruments. The lines are loose and quick, with dark ink and gray shading. The artist used lots of small lines layered on top of each other to create shadows and texture. It looks like they were working fast, maybe even on the spot. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark areas with lines.
