Farm, from The Small Landscapes

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the farmhouse, trees, and figures to establish the composition.

Begin adding details to the farmhouse, focusing on the roof texture and the structure of the walls.

Develop the trees, paying attention to the branching patterns and varying the thickness of the lines.

Add the figures and animals, using simple lines to define their forms and poses.

Use cross-hatching to create shadows and depth, concentrating on areas under the roof, behind trees, and on the ground.

Vary the line weight to create a sense of distance, using thicker lines for foreground elements and thinner lines for background elements.

Add final details such as small plants, birds, and textures to enhance the overall scene.

Refine the linework and erase any unnecessary pencil marks.
