Well thats fine I respect your preference to not have figure drawings in the group. Im a lover of anatomy as well and in a few months time I plan on getting deep back into it. I am aware of the sternum by the way. I thought it was evident where I've indicated its placement with the position of the breasts, the line I used to show the bottom edge of the rib cage and the pit of the neck that more or less form its boundaries.
To give you more of a frame of reference of what my current understanding of anatomy is. I've read and copied these books on figures and anatomy. Figure Drawing for all its worth, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention, Anatomy for the Artist and I've studied some of Bridgman's books and Elliot Goldfinger's. I not only copied the drawings. I took notes on the origins and functions of muscles and committed it to memory. Plus I've studied most of Proko's older videos before his current anatomy series came out. Now Im not trying to say Im an expert of anatomy but Im no slouch and I definitely know the landmarks. Not that Im mad at you or am trying to defend my ego, just trying to establish mutual understanding of where Im coming from.
Im aware of the different camps of sight size vs comparative measurement. I wont try and convince of its merits. I'll only say that I see both sides and dont identify myself with either.
Amit, thanks man! I will eventually give that a try I promise you :) Right now my time is divided up with many things and I need to choose my battles. I hope to contribute to the group in the future because anatomy is probably my biggest interest in art.
