Tutorial 18 - The Trapezium Bone
Added 2016-01-19 09:54:26 +0000 UTCThe trapezium bone is the "saddle seat" of the first metacarpal (the part of the thumb that's inside the hand). It's a bone partially responsible for the thumb's opposable motion.
We can see or feel it, if we rotate our thumbs in a circular motion.
Study some xray images of hands while you do this. Look back at the joints on your own hands. Draw what you learn until it's second nature.

Thanks Amélie! I spent a good few hours drawing various hands and skeletons to warm up. Takes longer but most of the time you end up with a strong drawing. These are sketches of my own hand, using a lamp to make sure I can see the complex forms.
