Let’s keep looking at how to improve on the assignments as we dive into our drawings of the rib cage.

Here are some things to consider when drawing the ribs:

  • Are the perspective angles converging correctly?
  • Is the top of the Thoracic arch in the middle of the rib cage?
  • Is the widest part of the ribs 2/3 the way down?
  • Is the top plane facing forward?
  • Is the rib cage the correct distance from the pelvis?
  • Are you drawing the shapes three dimensionally or two dimensionally?
  • Are you observing the angle of the Center Line?


    • We’ll go more in depth on these common mistakes and more in the video.

    Make sure to watch the lesson and do the assignments:

      Dear Stan,
      Thank you very much for your last video Anatomy Critiques – the rib cage. It let me become fully aware that even the proportions of rib cage are correct I am drawing the shape of ribcage two dimensionally. I corrected some of my sketches right now and the rib cage got volume immediately.
      Great
