This sketch shows two connected boxes with a thick bar between them, drawn in light pencil. Below, there’s a flat view of the same shape, with straight lines marking measurements like 3 inches and 5 inches. The paper has faint grid lines, and the top right corner lists wood sizes for building it. The drawing looks like instructions for making something simple but precise. The handwriting and measurements suggest it’s meant to be built, not just looked at. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to add depth.
