Drawing Kate Moss's Ass...




Hey everybody! Finally got around to scanning some stuff tonight. For our life drawing class, we have to prepare a portfolio full of skeletal studies of the pelvis, ribcage, skull, vertebrae, etc. My group got to take home the pelvis for this week, so that means 4 or 5 of us get together and sit around a big plastic pelvis and draw it from every angle imaginable. Sounds fun right? WRONG! The idea is the more we know the skeletal system, and once we can draw these forms accurately, and quickly, then our real life drawings from the model (and furthermore, our cartoons) will be all the more easy to do, because the "roadmap" of the skeleton is already etched in your brain. Hope so! I recently found out that after Christmas they give us an art test where we must be able to draw the entire human skeleton FROM MEMORY. From a front, side, and rear views!! Just thinking about that makes my head hurt...

Oh! And here's an art tip from me to you: The human pelvis when drawn from a top-down perspective looks surprisingly like the Batman signal!

WOW! You know your sisters had to have all this down for all their science classes....but to draw it ?? Do you have to be accurate? Do you have to know exactly where the bony protuberances on the spinal column bones are...do you have to have the exact number of facial bones? If so, we won't see you much at Christmas break...you'll just be studying. We'll just be glad to see you, though, and we'll help any way we can....
love you!

We don't need to know every little bump and notch on each bone, BUT, we do need to know its overall shape, its angle, and how its overall placement and size in relationship to the whole skeleton needs to be accurate. We're learning "shorthand" versions of all these bones right now, and so once we can draw a quickie shorthand skeleton with accuracy, filling in the details should be easier.

Man that looks SO COOL!
