5. Draw four more fingers, then add the spine with two curved lines behind the ribs. For the left side of the pelvis, sketch a curve, then draw a diagonal line to make a triangle.
Take it downward with a vertical line, add a curvy rectangle, and connect the pelvis to the spine with a small triangle. Start the right side of the pelvis with a rounded triangle like a mountain.

Without your skeleton, you wouldn't be able to tap dance. Study form and movement with a step-by-step dancing skeleton drawing.
This is more complex than a regular skeleton drawing. You'll draw bones at different angles to show that your skeleton is moving, not standing straight.
Notice how the head and chest tilt to the right, while the arms, legs and pelvis face forward.
Since bare skulls don't have facial features, you'll use artist tricks to create a cheerful expression. The raised "eyebrows" and slightly upturned mouth give the skull a subtle grin.
