Cartoon Skeleton

For the Cartoon skeleton project I used tweety bird. I used a full set of bones that included the skull, shoulder, arms, fingers, neck, back, tail, pelvis, legs, feet, and toes. I used a very exaggerated skull because tweety has such a large head along with very long eye sockets and prominent cheek bones. I had the vertebra extend though the tail as the shape of the tail. One of the hardest parts to this was making her ribs and pelvis. She is on an angle which made the pelvis difficult to imagine without actually looking at something to draw and the ribs I had to make very small and at an angle. The feet were a little unique because you cant really see her toes. So I just made them look like what I imagined which is two long toes. Before we started this project I was definitely a little intimidated. I didn't even know where to start but once I started drawing I seemed to know what to do next. This definitely helped me learn to draw a lot better. Overall I really enjoyed this project and it was very beneficial.
