We can understand their shape that is different from ours if we place the human body on all fours. Their bones, even if they have different shape, are comparable to human bones in many cases. Thus, we can understand the structure of their skeleton that, together with the muscles, accounts for the complex changes of their shape in motion ‘To draw an animal, one must, above all, get to know the animal itself, with its characteristic features such as nose, snout, es, ears, legs and tail Of course, with animals with a thick fur, it is more difficult to detect their anatomy as many plastic changes are hidlen. But the informed spectator will also recognise small indications that show that the artist has a knowledge of anatomy, Animals are very different, with a variety of shapes and character, but they have much in common with regard to anatomy. Thope that the knowledge presented in th ful not only to artists, but also to veterinarians; therefore, Iam also recommending this book to them. book will be us Andras Szunyoghy Fig. 13 ‘The skeleton, cranial aspect 8 Distal phalans (coffin bone) Fig. 14 ‘The muscles, cranial aspect 1 Sternohyoideus muscle (9) 2 Stermocephalicus muscle (7) 3 Trapezius muscle (14) {4 Shoulder join, covered by the brachiocephalicus muscle (6) 5 Suleus pectoris mediants bordered by the pectoral muscles (27-30) a Jugular groove with the gular vein 9 2 Fig. 32 ‘The muscles of the shoulder and elbow joints; lateral (A) and medial (B) aspects (superficial layer) 1 Supraspinatus muscle (42) 2 Infraspinaus muscle (45) 3 Deltoudeus muscle (43) 4 Biceps brachii muscle (52) 4/1 Mis lacertusfibrosus portion t0 the extensor carp siialis 5 Brachialis muscle (50), 6 Triceps brachii muscle (52) 7 "eres major muscle (47) 8 Subscapularis muscle (45) 9 Subclavius muscle (32) 10 Coracobrachialis musele (49) MOVEMENT PATTERNS.
