A pencil drawing on white paper of an underwater scene. In the center, a long tubular axolotl swims to the right with a rounded head, a large single eye, feathery gill fronds fanning out on both sides of its head, four small legs, and a striped tail. On the right side of the page a rough vertical rock wall descends into the water, textured with wavy horizontal lines and heavier shading near the base. Along the top edge of the page a horizontal line marks the water’s surface, with light hatching below suggesting reflections. In the lower-left corner a much smaller axolotl rests on a small rounded stone above a scribbled gravel bed. The word “Willa” is written vertically along the left edge of the page.
