About this work

This looks like a sketch of a building drawn in pencil. The paper is torn in uneven pieces, held together with tape. The lines are light but detailed, showing windows and rooftops. The artist used thin, see-through paper, so the sketch looks almost ghostly. It’s like a rough draft or a quick idea, not a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a way to build up shapes with lots of tiny lines.
