Build a simplified geometric rib cage for yourself. Start with a egg-shaped ball of aluminum foil or optimally, newspaper and masking tape, and add warm clay around it. Make indications for planes and center lines accordingly before adding more clay to establish the primary form before refining and defining the details.
Keep in mind these measurements for the rib cage as you work:
Height: 2.5 cranial units
Width: 1.75 units
Depth: 1.5 units
For this exercise, 1 cranial unit will equal 2 inches.
Here is my rib cage! I would love any critiques you could give. I am wondering if the top plane is big enough, and if the sternum length is the right length.
wow really nicely done! nothing stands out as being incorrect in the design. Of course people can have differently shaped rib cages from thin to stocky but as a generalization I think you're spot on and I can see you were working hard on accuracy. Keep it up!
I attached a Loomis head, a rib cage and a pelvis to this armature. I used polymer clay for durability. I am wondering whether the head is a bit large.
Hey this is great! Idk why I didn't see it earlier but it must have slipped past my notifications. really nicely done Scott! Head might be a bit large and the rib cage a bit small but the basic shapes are there.
