Week 5: The Skeleton

This week we'll be referring to the skeleton for reference while we are drawing. We'll start by blocking in our pose with a gesture drawing, and then look for anatomy landmarks to construct a simple skeleton beneath the pose. Examine the images below.





For homework, you'll be drawing a FULL FRONTAL VIEW of a skeleton, ideally from a photographic reference of a REAL skeleton. It's best to refer to both an actual photograph and then see how artists have handles drawing the skeleton. Try not to simply copy the artist's drawing.
