This sketch shows a metal structure made of sharp angles and beams. The lines are drawn in pencil and charcoal, with some red felt-tip shading on the slanted parts. The paper has light smudges where the artist’s hand touched it. The artist used quick, loose strokes to show how the beams connect. It looks like a study for something bigger—maybe a sculpture or a bridge. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
