DRAWING CHALLENEGE : SKELETON

This week my challenge was to produce a drawing of a skeleton from front back and side to correctly show proportions and form. before doing this I did some research and looked at Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings and decided to replicate some of these.

These drawings show different bones that make up the body from different angles. it shows the complexity of things like the feet and how things fit together, I even put together a right front and a right back of a skeleton to show the similarities and differences. I felt this helped me understand some things more and helped me expand on how I draw bones etc. I also helps me understand proportions and how the body works which is the purpose of the whole exercise. 

From here I decided to draw my 3 views of a skeleton. Using the head heights and proportion techniques mentioned in my dwarf drawing. I used a few different source images to create a simple yet effective representation of the human shape in the form of a skeleton.

I labelled the side profile and front profile differently the front profile shows the main bones and some more complicated ones. I made sure to include all the important bones for concept artists, animators etc. The side profile is labelled with the main joints and what type of joints these are which is also very important. The third skeleton simply shows the measurements and heights I used, they have been changed a little to rectify any mistakes etc.
