Artloader : Thanks you for the kind words ! Some of them yes, but not all, I have still have a hard time with every nook and cranny. I dream of bones now...!
Shinkasuru : Thanks you ! :) overall yes. Each time I drew the bone 18 time from the model, then tried to draw it from memory and corrected it after 18 time too (Picked that in one of Dave Rapoza video ). Having to draw so much time the same thing, you have to find a way to simplify it and to be faster because its take a long time and it can become pretty boring .
Its helped me to understand some of the shape . Some bones have subtlety in the curvature and I didn't immediately grasp everything from the illustration plate (I used Paul richer book for theses one) and drawing them made me understand better the overall pattern and forms.
But... I don't see myself using all of that in imagination drawing, unless I do an undead skeleton. I think the most interesting part are skull, hand, feets and joints (elbow and knee) because this is where the bones protrudes. Also the clavicles and the scapula, but the other bones, I wonder if its super useful to study them indepth beyond there general shape. I did some hand, forearm and arm today, the hand was very interesting, I was surprised by many thing like the way the thumb attach and some small bumpy bones like pisiform.
Well that was a long post !To sum its up, I think what I'v done might have been a bit overkill, but I got some nice thing there and there from the bony area. Here are today studies. I apologize for the poor quality, I will probably edit the photo with another tomorrow when the light is better, it was difficult to get a good overview shot. I treat this mainly as a landmark for today work. Also a quickshot of one of the few bones hand study I did
