About this work

This sketch shows a simple hillside with a few small buildings on top. The lines are light and scratchy, like quick pencil strokes. The ground has rough, uneven shapes, and the sky is just a faint line at the top. The artist used tiny, overlapping lines to build up shadows and texture—this is called *cross-hatching*. It looks like they were working fast, almost like a rough draft. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how other artists used this technique.
