mid term

This semester has been a whole new experience so far.  We have learned a lot of things already about the human body.  We can now quickly yet accurately draw a human figure in no time at all, so that should help is in the future with work.  Also, we have learned things like the rib cage, the pelvic bone, and the thigh muscles.
When we draw the rib cage it’s kind of like an egg with the bottom portion cut out. Then we move onto the pelvic bone which can make a sort of triangle toward the bottom of the center line in the body.  Next is the legs; when we draw the legs quickly we want to draw the front part of the thigh and the back part of the calf and then draw something symbolizing the feet.  When we do these things we can accurately and quickly draw a rough figure.

Rib Cage

This week we learned about the rib cage and how it can help us draw individuals better.  When I started drawing the rib cage first I feel like I started to improve my drawing abilities already.  If you look at the spinal curves, the rib cage is the second curve pretty much and it helps to know where that curve is when drawing a person.
