This drawing shows a tall, thin tower with diagonal lines stretching out like wires. The lines lean at odd angles, and the tower has a small box at the top. In the corner, there’s a tiny sketch of a person standing near a wall. The artist used simple lines and measurements to show how the wires might move or bend. It looks like a rough plan for something that doesn’t quite exist yet. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create depth and texture.
