Understanding Animal Anatomy

by Antonio Stappaerts in Designing Dragons

assignments 7

Hi i took a long break in the middle of this because of life and I lost some motivation while doing this as it was hard but I came back and pushed through even though I know it is not exactly right but I tried my best and I’m a beginner with a lot to learn :)

LESSON NOTES

In this lesson, I want to demonstrate how to get creative with anatomy to boost your creature design thinking. Not only will you learn to apply anatomy to your mannequin, I will also show you a very creative way to start your first imaginative drawings!

ASSIGNMENTS

Pick 1 bird you drew from imagination in Module 3.
Add the bone and muscle structure on top of the mannequin.
Pose one of your reptile mannequins in the exact same pose as your bird.
Then apply the bone and muscle structure on that reptile as well.
Now repeat the assignment in reverse, first studying your reptile then posing your bird mannequin in the pose of the reptile.

This was super fun for me, reminds me of biological illustrations we did during my Bachelors.
