Skeleton Graphite Drawing

The first official graphite drawing of the year. But instead of "coloring in" the shading, we started with a graphite base and erased in the highlights. It was interesting to sort of work backwards. And it was a good challenge to draw the skeleton, especially at this angle. It was awkward (at least for me) to have the lightest part be in the back (which was actually the front of the skeleton). It was also difficult trying to keep track of which bone was which.
