This sketch looks like a rough draft of a strange city scene. Buildings lean at odd angles, some with wavy lines instead of straight walls. A large hat sits near the center, filled with blob-like shapes. Circles and lines overlap in a way that doesn’t quite make sense—like a puzzle missing pieces. The artist used pencil to layer lines, creating shadows and textures without color. It feels like a quick idea scribbled down, not a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
