Anatomy: Skeleton


The purpose of this task was to study the anatomy of the skeleton, to gain an understanding of the overall structure, as well as how each main bone moves and what it's purpose was, as well as learning the correct shape for each bone.

I started in my sketchbook. I looked up different bones from a list and drew them, which not only gave me an idea of where on the skeleton the bones were, but helped me to learn the correct shape of the bone, I found some bones, such as the scapula, had parts to them I did not know about. I feel these sketches went well, they are not all completely accurate but give a good idea, some, such as the Thorax, I had to re-draw because if it's difficult shape.

 
 
 
 
 

The final stage for the task was to create a reference image. I used what I had already learned and a few full skeleton images to draw these. I learned some new things about where and how bones linked together. Everything on here is usefully labelled, I decided to put a guide to what each different type of joint was for reference as well. I was surprised at how many different joint type there were.
