The skull looks a bit like a light bulb, doesn’t it? The chest is the next step (00 min 45 sec). It consists of two identical parts. Each represents a number of ribs that hold the entire body together. If you’re happy with this stage, move on to the spine (01 min 20 sec). You’ll need a series of tiny ovals on top of each other for the spine. The pelvis follows (01 min 32 sec). It also consists of two identical parts sitting next to each other.

Before you learn how to draw A Skeleton, did you know?

The majority of the living creatures on planet Earth have a skeleton. It’s the foundation that all the other vital “blocks” are built on. The bones are the sturdiest parts of our bodies and you’ll have to spend weeks, if not months to rehabilitate after you break an important bone.

The horror movies really love to use skeletons to give us a good scare. The video games breathe life into these “dummies” and make them fight the player. From an anatomical point of view, the skeleton is a very exciting and complicated thing. If you’re planning on becoming a biologist or a medic, you’ll have to learn everything about it by heart.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
