Drawing from a skeleton is a great way to learn Anatomy for Artists. In this video I will show you the benefits of using a skeleton as your model to practice drawing the spine.

There is a lot to work on here. The hardest thing is imagining the spine column as it travels within the ribcage. Especially when the lumbar region rotates in perspective

Compared to the firsts versiones., i did it better, but i know that there are things that are difficult for me to see, and the execution is not clean because I erase and correct a lot.

There's a lot of problems with these, and after watching this, I realised that I need to add more contour lines, and transparency the forms. Any other suggestions?

Ok, guys. Here is my first attempt at this assignment, I believe that I have to practice a lot with the coccyx structure because is a little more inclined.

Watching the Deliberate practice video was very helpful, putting the idea into practice was very rewarding.

Posting for the first time here. I blitzed through the whole torso course in a couple weeks and am now coming back for more careful study of the material. I'm really working to try to get a better sense of volume in my drawings, it's always been my weakest point. One of these days I'll get the hang of the bucket.

Hi, here are some of my attempts at this, I decided to do these exercises in paper since I'm more used to digital so I really struggled to keep my lines clean, guess that's something I need to pratice

Skelly drawings. Left ones are my first attempts and the right ones are after Stan. Tried starting from the cranium instead of the pelvis on the two on pose number 6. Felt like I was struggling a bunch with getting the proportions right in terms of the three sections quite a bit, but I think it got better. Same with the shape of the ribcage. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
