About this work

This drawing shows a maze of tight, angular buildings stacked in layers. The lines are all pencil—no color, just different shades of gray. Some roofs look like they’re made of tiles, and the walls are rough, almost like stone blocks. The artist used tiny, repeated lines to build up shadows and textures, making the buildings feel solid. It’s all done by hand, no digital tricks. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
