The city scene drawing is done with red pen & ink on Strathmore paper. The ink used is Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay Red ink, because it is posted on the label. Hatched lines have been used to give shade and shadow to this city scene drawing. Cross-hatching was not used at all because it would make the drawing too dark. The time of day is in the afternoon and there is no need for dark shade or shadows.
