This drawing shows a quiet beach scene. The sand is smooth and light, with faint lines running through it. Above, the water looks calm, and in the distance, a rocky cliff rises up. The artist used soft black ink and watery strokes to keep things simple. It feels like a quick sketch, but the details are still clear. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
