7. Musculature And Skeletal Anatomy


This drawing of a male model has a good sense of proportion overall, there are places where the proportions of the body are wrong and this has caused unrealistic limbs, this could be improved upon by measuring more before fully drawing in detail. The angles of the drawing really give a good sense of the weight of the model as well as his posture and pose, the foreshortening on the stomach show that the model is leaning/bending forward.
The detail of shading really helps emphasise the pose of the model, you can really tell that this is a relaxed pose and the model isn’t using a lot of muscles other than those in his arms to rest his head on his hand. The shading follows the contours of the shape this gives a good sense of depth on the drawing, this also helps to see which parts of the body are in front of others.
The major improvements that need to be made to this drawing are the head/face which seems to be out of perspective compared to the rest of the drawing, this could be because of a difficult angle at which the model was facing. Another improvement would be on the left leg which seems to be broken this was most likely caused because other proportions of the body were altered but this caused the leg to be incorrect and the wrong shape. Also an improvement of this drawing would be to have a backdrop as this would really help to frame the drawing and hide incorrect lines.
