This sketch shows a cityscape drawn in pencil on a large sheet of paper. The buildings are simple, blocky shapes stacked unevenly. Some lines are bold, others faint, and there’s a mix of scribbled notes and doodles in the margins. A piece of brown tape is stuck in the top corner, and the edges look worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The artist wrote “Vulcan” and “the wildest piece ever” in the top right corner. The pencil lines vary in pressure, making some areas darker than others. The drawing feels rough but intentional, like a quick idea turned into something more. Want to see more? Check out Vulcan.
