This drawing shows a hand gripping a foot. The fingers wrap around the toes. The skin looks rough and real, with shadows under the knuckles and between the toes. The whole thing is in black and white, with no extra colors. The artist focused on how bones and skin work together. The lines show where muscles pull and bones press. It’s like a map of how the body holds itself. Want to see more like this? Check out cross-hatching.
