I like studying anatomy. I love the interface between art and science. Sometimes I get access to a skeleton and scribble happily for hours.
These drawings are on very large sheets of brown wrapping paper, using black, white and sanguine conte crayons. Working on this scale gave me the chance to focus on mark-making rather than doing a scientific illustration.

I really like these, I love looking at the anatomy too 🙂 Have you seen the work of Gunther von Hagens? (he takes donated bodies and ‘plastinates’ them, revealing & preserving all of the anatomy beneath the skin) If you haven’t then you definitely should if you’re interested in the ideas of art vs. science.. as long as you’re not squeamish haha! I did a post on my blog a couple of months ago with links to some of his work 🙂
Thanks Lydia. I love von Hagens’ work. Extraordinary stuff.
Looking at these brings back good (and bad) memories from art school. I think I would have preferred to do skeletal drawings on the brown paper, much warmer than cold sterile white paper! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Very nice…I’m a fool for brown paper and white pencils.
It’s great stuff. I scribble over it and pack presents in it – not the anatomical stuff though, it might upset people.
very nice, the brown paper makes it particularly butchery
I like butchery. Butchery is good 🙂
Whoo, this looks interesting. The brown paper is a really good choice for this. Have a beautiful day! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
