This drawing shows a simple wooden box with a tall, thin stick standing straight up from its center. The stick has a rounded, bulbous base where it meets the box, almost like a mushroom. The lines are light and sketchy, with no extra details. The box looks plain but sits slightly off-center, giving it a quiet, uneven feel. The artist used just pencil strokes—no shading or color—to make it. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
