This is a drawing of a wild boar. The image features a wild boar lying down on a patch of ground. The fur of the boar is illustrated with numerous short strokes to convey texture. The boar's body is relaxed, and its head is resting on the ground. The drawing is monochromatic, using a range of tones from light to dark to highlight the contours and volume of the animal. The background is simple, keeping the focus on the boar.
