A dense fantasy village drawn in fine pen: slender towers perched on rock stacks above water, crooked tiled roofs, rope bridges and small round trees, everything described with stipple and hatching rather than tone. Soft flat colour laid behind the line in sage, cream and dusty blue, clouds drawn as outlined shapes with hatched shadow. Obsessive detail carried evenly across the whole frame.
