This sketch shows a building with two tall towers and a rounded dome in the middle. The structure has arched windows and looks like a mosque. In the background, smaller domes and spires line up along a horizon. The artist used thin, repeated lines to build up shadows and details. This technique makes the drawing look like a quick but careful study. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
