When depicting a human skeleton, the main thing is to reflect its certain structural laws and maintain human proportions. To do this, you need to follow a few simple tips and exercise long enough to get a good result.
Instructions
Step 1
Disassemble the skeleton. The main thing in drawing a skeleton is to understand what it consists of. Remember that the human skeleton is not a single whole, but many separate parts. To get started, practice drawing each individual part. If you paint on a computer, then you even have the opportunity to draw all the parts on separate layers, and then combine them into a single whole.
Step 2
Draw joints and small bones. Notice how many bones there are only in a normal human finger. Therefore, before drawing a skeleton, you need to study it. Find a few pictures on the Internet and thoroughly examine all the details. Learning the name or feeling for each of the bones will give you an added bonus in memorizing them in terms of drawing.
Step 3
Maintain proportions. Many depict a skeleton, forgetting that this is just a frame of the body, and not it itself. This results in very thick hands and hip bones. The skeleton itself is "thin" and seemingly fragile. This is how it should hit in your drawing.
Step 4
Simplify your drawing. If it is still difficult for you to draw all the details, some of the connecting bones can be neatly painted over in black, as if they are not visible in the shadows - this will allow you to draw small details less detailed and reduce drawing time.
Step 5
Pay special attention to the skull. This is the special part. She always frightened a person and caused a certain awe. When depicting a skull, stick to the proportions as much as possible and work competently with the shadow. If it turns out to be unnatural and even more comical, the entire entourage of your drawing will quickly disappear.
