Equine Osteology: Femur

Equine femur for class, also a little tibia.  These are just pencil drawings that I make super-contrasted.

Canine Osteology: Forelimb, Hindlimb, and Pelvic Bones

Sketches (pretty rough) of bones I made for studying.  Focused on the aspects needed for the class.  Really would love to do a nice ink drawing of these sometime, but not sure when I'll have the time. NOTE: Oops! missed the proximal sesamoid bones on phalanges II-V on the forepaws!

Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy


These are some sketches I did for my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class a few years ago. On the left is an anatomical cat skull, and on the right an anatomical lizard skull.  I want to make a series of ink drawings of a variety of vertebrate skulls, so hopefully that will be coming sometime soon.  These drawings were made for studying, so I had to balance realism, universality (in case we were tested on a skull not quite exactly like the one we practiced with) and simplicity (to easily distinguish the different bones of each skull).  I also had to, you know, have time left over to study them.  It was super fun.
