Non-Human Anatomy

These are some of the images that looked at the anatomy of animals considering their bones, fat and muscular structures as see from different angles.
This angle of the sea lion allows us to see both the round curve of the body and the leaner neck and smaller head. The darkening of the underneath combines with the curve of the back to give a sense of the roundness of it and the loose makes used to make the flippers reflect the more agile nature of them.

The perspective on the bat is interesting as while one wing is entirely revealed in shape almost looking down on at it, the other smaller and less shapely due to foreshortening on this image. The contrast of the soft fur of the bat and the leathery wings is reflected in the choice of mark types made by the graphite.
The stage skeleton is a quick pen image that from the angle of looking just slightly up at it gives it a real noble sense. The detail of the knee joints and the impression of the spine and rib cage show the attention t anatomy. Notice the angle of the body looking off to the left and how this angle is reflected in the antlers.
