This drawing shows a dark, textured water pot hanging in a window. The pot is tied with a rope, and there’s a small, round object on the sill below. The window frame is simple, with two vertical lines and a crossbar. Light comes in from the left, making the pot’s shape stand out against the wall. The pot’s surface looks rough, almost like it’s made of clay or metal. The artist used quick, uneven lines to show its weight and texture. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
