🖌️🎨 描 trace (扌 hand) + 绘 paint (纟 silk-thread art) = trace-then-paint = depict
描 carries the hand radical 扌 for sketching or tracing an outline; 绘 carries the silk radical 纟, tying it to thread-and-color artwork. Together the two drawing verbs stack into one word meaning to depict, describe, or portray. Sound: miáo-huì, a smooth rising-falling pair.
