Week 8: Non-human anatomy

This week's session we went to Leeds City Museum in order to draw non-human anatomy. The animals in the two images are just two examples of taxidermy, placing them in context would have helped the overall realism of the drawings. The first pencil drawing, done in less than 30 minutes is of a bird, the anatomy is accurate, weight, movement and texture of the feathers are faithful to the real life model.

The second pencil drawing, done in less than 30 minutes is of a tiger. There's some foreshortening present, some shading mimicking the natural fur of the feline, though some lines should be less tough where there's more light. There's some attempt at drawing the musculature in order to portray the anatomy accurately.
