This photo shows three people swimming in choppy water. One person is face-down, arms stretched out. Another is standing, reaching toward someone else who’s floating on their back. The waves are rough, with white foam everywhere. Notice the red lines dividing the photo into sections—and that tiny sketch in the corner. It looks like a rough drawing of a swimmer’s arm and a wave. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build detail with lines.
