Humerus, scapula, others I forget. He knew a suspicious number! (The hands are all one piece so we didn't get past "phalanges".)

Imo start with the skeleton and work your way out get the major bones like the sternum, collar bones, scapula, humerus, radius and ulna, lilac crest of the pelvis the femur and fibula and tibia and then just the egg shape for the rib cage and bucket shape for the pelvis then learning the muscles-

My rat sisters both got tumors at ~18 months. I asked the vet about hormone blockers since my rat Flipper didn’t get much benefit from surgery. For about $500 she put a ferret implant called deslorenen between their scapula. #2 is 2 3/4 yrs now, #1 died at 2 1/4 yrs vet-us.virbac.com/home/product...

Since I found these #artref scans, I might as well share them. And if anyone knows what text these are from, I would love to know it. I was a silly college student and never asked my professor when he handed out the scans.

Scans from a textbook showing rules of thumb for figure drawing. This shows the torso from the front; there are three units between the nipples and top of the hip, and another three from there to the bottom of the groin. And there are three units between the nipples and the front point of the hip.
But there are only two units from the top of the collarbone to the nipples, or from the top of the hip to top of the groin.
More scans with rules of thumb. This shows that the top of the groin is about level with the wrist when a person is standing. And the halfway point between head and toes is the groin.
More scans.
From the top of the head to the bottom of the groin can be broken into 4 units, each about the length of the head. From bottom of chin to the nipples is one unit, as is from nipples to navel.
More scans showing the 4 units rule - this time from back.
On the back, from the bottom of the scapula to the point of hip, and from the hip to the bottom of the buttocks are one unit each..

oooh those are interesting. Thank you a lot. That sternum/clavicle/scapula/hand comparison is very neat. Never saw that before.

Ah! That's fair. Here's the scans for the face. I wish I knew what book these came from because the professor gave a bunch of scans from it and it was full of these sort of thing. But I was silly and never thought to ask... #artref

Scans from a figure drawing text showing various rules of thumb, including that there is one eye's width between the eyes, the spine is roughly 3 heads long, and that the length from the tips of the ring and middle fingers to the heel of the palm is the same as the clavicle, scapula, and first two segments of the sternum.
More scans showing arm, hand, and face ratios. Upper arm to forearm is 5:4, forearm to hand is 3:2. The back of the hand is as long as the length of the middle finger. A hand is the same length as the length from one's forehead to their chin. The pinkie is a full segment shorter than the ring finger.
More scans for head ratios.
Head-on ratio is 3:4, profile is 5:6. The distance from brow to chin equals that of  nose-tip to leading edge of ear. Eyes are the halfway mark of the face.
The bottom of the nose aligns with bottom of ear. Top of ear aligns with bottom of brow.

The distance between the bottom of the nose and the top of the brow is the same as the distance from bottom of nose to bottom of chin, and brow to hairline. The crown of the skull is about half that length.
More scans, including a closer view of the diagram showing that the length from brow to chin equals that of the nose-tip to the leading edge of ear. It also shows that the pelvis is about the length of the skull, and the width is 1.3 skull's lengths.

Scapula is my mortal enemy. I have difficulty understanding it but it's very important for drawing the arms and back.
