About this work

This sketch shows a simple boardwalk with a few people walking. Above them are two small, blocky buildings labeled "Atlantic City." The line for the boardwalk is drawn with quick, parallel strokes, and the figures are stick-like with no faces. The drawing is loose and fast, almost like a doodle. The name "Lurie" is scrawled in the corner, likely the artist’s signature. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
