About this work

This drawing shows the inside of a human neck and shoulder. You can see muscles, bones, and tendons laid out like a map. The lines are simple but precise, tracing how everything connects. The artist focused on how muscles wrap around the collarbone and shoulder blade. It’s like an X-ray but drawn by hand. If you like this, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build details with lines.
