Drawing Animals: Skeletons, Muscles, and More

Drawing animals can be a daunting feat if you've never tried before or have never made any
serious attempts, but it can be fairly easy once you break down the generalized appearance. Most
animals you will attempt to draw are all composed of the same basic anatomy structures—
skeleton, muscle, and skin—and will all share the same basic placement of limbs, tails, and
obviously heads.
