This drawing shows two views of a skull and part of the spine. The bones are detailed, with shadows and lines making them look three-dimensional. One side shows the skull from the front-left, the other from the back-right. The jaw is open slightly, and the spinal cord is visible at the bottom. The artist focused on the skull’s shape and structure, showing how delicate and precise the bones are. The drawing looks like it was made by hand, with careful shading to show depth. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
