About this work

This sketch looks like a quick, loose drawing of a city street at night. In the foreground, two people sit on a bench, their faces and bodies barely more than scribbles. Behind them, buildings rise with jagged lines, their windows glowing faintly. Trees and streetlights add more quick strokes, making the whole scene feel busy but not quite real. The artist used lots of thin, scratchy lines to build up shadows and light. It’s like they were in a hurry—or maybe just wanted to capture the mood fast. Check out how this was made using etching.
