About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of two forearm bones, the radius and ulna. They’re shown from the side, with the wrist joint bent slightly. The lines are clean but not detailed—just enough to show the bones’ shape and how they connect. The drawing looks like it was made to teach or study anatomy. The bones are the only thing shown, with no background or extra marks. If you want to see more like this, check out cross-hatching.
