This drawing shows a quiet hillside covered in trees and bushes. A winding path cuts through the middle, leading up toward a distant building. The lines are dark and sketchy, with lots of tiny marks filling in the shapes of leaves and grass. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to show light and shadow. It looks like they worked fast, almost like a rough sketch. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark areas with lines.
