Introduction to Animal Anatomy

In week one, Joe teaches you how to construct the main components of a horse’s skeletal structure. You will learn to use simple forms to illustrate the horse.

In week two, Joe will show you how to construct the major components of large cats. You will learn how the skeletal structure works to give these animals a predatory advantage.

In week three, you will learn how to construct bovine and canine animals. Joe will walk you through the steps of analyzing and drawing these animals.

In week four, Joe will demonstrate the difference between an herbivore and a carnivore skull. You will learn that the constructions of the skull aid in each animals’ survival.

In week five, Joe will teach you how to construct the forelimbs of various animals. You will learn how the skeletal structure plays a crucial role in the animals’ movements.

In week six, you will learn how to analyze and construct the hind limbs of several animals. Joe will walk you through the skeletal structure of a horse and canine. Then, he will compare them to that of a human’s hind limb.

In week seven, Joe will demonstrate how to construct the superficial muscles of a horse and lion. You will learn how the muscular system plays a vital role in the movement and survival of animals.

In week eight, you will learn how to construct the superficial muscles of a canine. Joe will demonstrate, in detail, how the muscular system works in these animals.
