Cross section of the palate and/or nasal cavity of a human and a mammal is a 1970 by Unknown, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This drawing shows two side-by-side cross sections of a nose and mouth area. One side looks like a human’s, with teeth and a soft palate. The other side has a longer snout, likely from an animal, with different bone shapes. Tiny dots and lines fill in the details inside each section. The artist used shading tricks to show depth—dots for shadows, lines for texture. It’s like peeling back the skin to see what’s underneath. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create shadows.
