Week 9- Non-Human Anatomy

 This is a 8 minute drawing of an anatomy of a bird at the Leeds City Museum. The same basic principles of anatomy still apply such as the muscular and bone structure in this bird. The sense of weight, balance, gesture, and poses still apply to human anatomy. This is the bird that the artist had to drawn and captured which represents excellent gesture. It implies that the bird is looking behind him which draws the viewers attention to the direction he is looking towards. This is a static pose in which the bird is standing and has balance.

 

This is 20 minute drawing of an Ape/Gorilla. You can see that there is a strong sense of pose and gesture as the Gorilla/Ape is hanging on to a tree branch (even though it isn't their on the paper) which becomes unbalanced and is supported by the muscles and his skeleton in his right arm.This is a Dynamic pose where you can see the tension form in his right arm holding on to the branch. This is  an open form. There isn't much accuracy in proportion and has sausage like limbs present. In conclusion, it demonstrates the non-human anatomy of the ape and bird and indicates good areas of balance and weight, and has strong gestures present.
