Anatomy

These three drawings feature the same model, there are two poses shown but one pose has been drawn from two vantage points. Their purpose of these drawings is to get familiar with the anatomy of a human being, such as the structure of the legs and arms and the curve of the spine. They were produced using a Graphite Stick, and each took either 20 or 30 minutes to complete.

Anatomically speaking, the first two drawings are quite accurate, as the arms are in proportion with the rest of the body and stay true to the underlying musculature beneath the skin. The first drawing features a good use of foreshortening, this is due to the vantage point making models right thigh face the background. The same can be said in the second drawing, however in this the foreshortening affects the shoulders, due to the vantage point showing the model semi-side on. The second drawing has a good depth to it, making it look three dimensional, this is due to the piece effectively capturing pose of the model.

The third drawing has a noticeable anatomical error. The left calf and foot are too short for the rest of the body, and due to the leg being bent it makes the error all the more prevalent. This drawing is not without its pros, as it shows good natural curvature of the spine and how fat over the abdominal muscles is reacts to it. 

As for the shading of the first drawing, it shows how the bones and muscles affect fat on the body, this can be seen on the models back, as the right scapula along with the position of the right arm causes the fat to roll creating areas of shadow underneath these rolls.
