Color Your Skeleton Arm Drawing

Learn More About The Skeleton Arm Drawing
You have 206 bones inside your body that support your frame and protect your organs. Learn how to draw a skeleton arm so that you can study human anatomy.
Your skeleton is made of hard bones, but this guide doesn't use a lot of angles. Instead, bones are naturally curvy. You'll use a lot of ovals and round triangles for realism.
This tutorial uses grays to make the bones look clean and new. If you want antique bones, try coloring with yellowish-white and drawing cracks with crooked lines.
Add a spider web with spider drawing if your skeleton is particularly ancient.
