About this work

This drawing shows a tall building with four big towers and domes. The walls and floors are made of tiny pencil lines, like a maze of squares. Shadows and light play across the surfaces, making some parts look rough and others smooth. The artist used only pencil, layering lines to create depth and texture. It’s not a real photo—just paper and patience. Try looking up *cross-hatching* to see how artists build shadows with lines.
