This drawing shows two snakes winding across a peach-colored background. Their bodies look like they’re made of tiny, overlapping lines, almost like scales. At the bottom, there are two small sketches: one of a person climbing a ladder and another of a wooden structure with steps. The snakes’ bodies are drawn with a mix of rubbed clay and pencil, giving them texture. The background looks like it was lightly stained or washed with color. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
