The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

An urban sketchbook page built in visible layers: torn newsprint and ruled paper pasted down first, loose watercolour washes dropped over them with runs and drips left where they fell, then a fast scratchy ink line describing buildings, wires and traffic drawn on top. Nothing aligns exactly, the collaged paper shows through wherever the wash is thin. Energetic and unfinished. No readable lettering.
