i am actually too embarrassed to ask any of my teachers?

and whenever i have tired to explain it to anyone all i can say about it is....ITS LIKE RICKETY BUILDINGS DONE IN PEN AND MAYBE CROSS HATCHED AND NORMALLY OF PARIS. but, when i google parisian illulstation, or parisian motif and all that nothing comes up? there is a lovely book called illustrations of corfu? or something like that where she draws bits of corfu in this way but it was really expensive and didnt actually SAY anything about the style?
p a b l i t a?
PLEASE also tell me anyone you know who illustraits like that.
THANKS ALOT
