I kept repeating the drawings. I think I made them better over time. My major challenge was the size of the scapula and the start of the humerus. Maybe somebody has a tip for the location? Or is it only „just below the acromion process“?

A quick question about the angle of the clavicle.

Because of the shape of the clavicle and the position of the scapulae when they are retracted in that pose.

The Reference photos are in order from 1-6. I would like honest feedback please don't hold back. The front of the models for me are pretty hard especially when the Scapula's are foreshortened. I also have a difficult time with angling the Clavicles because sometimes I don't know the length of them. Also are the Scapula spines I constructed good? or could it be better, pretty difficult from foreshortened angle. Feedback needed please I need help.

Hello, I followed the video to draw this, it's so hard.

Hi everyone! For this assignment I decided to try to find ф shoulder bones inside the human body, The hardest part was to find a scapula position. but I think that when I'll learn shoulder muscles better I'll try to make a second approach.

Looks like a pretty good job to me, @Eveline Rupenko! Solid forms and coherent representations of the motion of the scapulas and their relationship with the clavicles overall. I’d do just one thing differently in the last two ones: try to push the clavicles a bit more towards the front in order to show the protraction. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Its been a while since I posted so revisiting shoulder bones! Looking forward to start shoulder muscles soon!

Quick feedback. Seems the clavical is not lining up with the ribcage. The perspective does not match. Also, if the near side is too large and too high up the page; This level of foreshortening from front to back means a very low focal length or fisheye lens. Try to keep the bones in line with the left vanishing point that you established with the ribcage. Also note because the clavical was off, so are the scapula which completes the shoulder girdle structure. Lastly, the S shape of the clavical is more subtle. Don't overdo it. Use reference when in doubt.

色々な3Dモデルがあったらいいな・・ かたを上げだりするのがシンプルな形で見たがったんだけど、参考するのがあまりなくて難しいでした。

I think i need to grip my pencil less hard and lay in softer, but it’s taking all my mental energy and fortitude to do so. I think I’m going okay with these forms, but I definitely need to practice them more.

This is a bit of a response to the very helpful and much appreciated feedback from @Dwight over in the ribcage section, I’ve been focusing on not making the lumbar section too long in my drawings - so here’s some examples of that. I’ve also been thinking about my technique aside from anatomy and constructive drawing - I’m tackling the problem of being too heavy handed and just trying to meditate on lightening my grip on the pencil for my lay in so that my lines are legible in the final construction. I’m gonna move onto muscles now and not try to stay too stuck into the skeleton because i’ll be drawing that anyways before i draw the muscles overtop, so looking forward to that and good luck to everyone else on their anatomical art adventure!

this lesson is really challenge but keep going everyone
Jesper Axelsson
Yeah, it is really challenging!!! I struggled with it a lot, but know it is my favorite part of the skeleton :) It's really cool😎 To get a better understanding of the scapula it helped me to practice drawing it from imagination; in a simplified format. Just to play around with it's range of motion and relationship to the other bones. I came up with a mass conception of the scapula last year that I'm really happy with. I attached an image of it, in case you find it useful. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Feeling like the right scapula is not okay on this one, somehow. Maybe too close to the spine.

Hi Sarvesh. Remember that the clavicles are located above the first rib on the rib cage. See attached image. On your first and last drawings, the rib cage hole and clavicles look oddly placed. Good luck!
Sarvesh Gupta
Did a tracing over the reference to study scapula and tried to figure out muscles. How did I do?
