Anatomy : Skeleton

This weeks assignment was about skeletons. We had to learn the names of the important bones and figure out how they work.

The first part of the task was to find a lot of resources. I mainly used a book called "Artistic anatomy and the human figure in motion" and the Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist  by Stephen Rogers Peck. My moodboard:

I know that skeletons are something I will be comming back to so I tried not to overwhelm myself with too many different bones. I mainly focused on the most important ones and tried remembering them

The third part of the assignment was to draw a skeleton from 3 different views. I made a version marking only the important bones and another version of joints connecting those bones together.

There's still a lot that I have to learn about skeletons so I will do more of these in the future. I think that one of my biggest problems is the proportions between all parts which makes it look like it's deformed.
