Anatomicality

Got a little over exited in the art shop over the weekend and spent far too much money on new drawing things. Nothing too fancy, mainly new pencils and sketchbooks, but had to try them out as soon as I got home. This is a copy from a book of anatomical illustrations from the 18th and 19th centuries. This one, specifically is a copy from Giuseppe del Medico, Anatomia per Uso dei Pittori e Scultori, 1811, Tavola 16: The muscles of the neck as related to the skull.

Came out nicely. I still need to get better at positioning things though as a few proportions are still out and I think I actually managed to change the point of view ever so slightly. So far still to go. Drawing is hard!
