This sketch shows a quiet city rooftop view. You see rows of brick houses with small yards, a few trees, and a tall, empty building on the right. The sky is pale and hazy, blending into the distant horizon. The artist used only pencil, layering lines to build up shadows and shapes. It feels like a moment frozen in time, with no people or movement. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with just pencil lines.
