Description
Ever wondered what some of those funny medical anatomy terms the doctors use refer to?Here's some of them.
Note: Ellie's idea.
This thing was a by-product of my current biology studies.
you see, you're supposed to know what all that stuff means and also what they mean on quadrupeds and bipeds (slight differences ) And also the head.
Only two missing are ipsilateral and contralateral. (former means "same side as" the other means "on other side" )
I actually drew this on my lecture notes as a way to remember all those damn terms. Decided to digitise it today... also a stupid excuse to go try more shading... despite all the mass study craze.....
So yes. Art AND a study aid.
All in one.
Who sayz stuff can't be applied.
So yes, Anatomical references.
for biomedical Science.
Models are Signal (the Absol ) and Lucy (the Lucario.)
Also figured that I should put a short stop to the cuteness-sweetness from Lucy's appearances before cuteness-poisoning occurs.
So yes
Neutral expressions. -___-
Done in 2 hours.
Note: should give Lucy a break. She's appearing too often.

This made me "rofl"! I use these terms all the time and it was just rather amusing to see them used for Absol and Lucario.

She does look kinda bored.
And thanks for the fav.

but I like physics too much, and I don't really like bio...

Awesome. I may have to keep this in mind if I decide to try to draw again.

what a lot of strange words...
Well the art looks cool as allways

Thanks anyway

Damn it, why must some of you insist on using big medical terms. XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cause I have to learn this?
This is actually something I use more in my studies than doing it as a true deviation. (explains the slight lack of flavour )
Why do they use such terms?
I donnoe.
I think it be something to do with the docs trying hard to keep their knowledge in their little exclusive "club"

I know I know. I have a friend who's going for a degree in nursing. Its alright. I just feel dumb at times when I have to look things up. However, I'll be attending college shortly (crosses fingers, waiting on acceptance letter) and will get to rebuild my vocabulary once again. ^_^

Sigh.
Well, hope you get in...... and hope you have fun....

Wow... good reference material... and educational!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes..... actually using this as part of my study notes.
Also thanks for the fav.

Interesting...
pitty that with my art style, I'll probably never be able to use it...
I feel ashamed of myself...
-.-'

Well,
You'd get better soon enough.
So long as you keep trying.
Though the picture isn't the main reason why I did this pic.
It's the anatomical references that's used in medical-thingies. That's what's important to me.
Also thanks for the fav.

nice references. I just happen to make in my own style ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes... though mostly using that buncha references for medical terms.

Oh Signal?
She's appeared only a handful of times in my gallery to date. Rarely draw her, but she's darn cute anyway.
And thanks for the fav.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

You have an artistic reference? Like how you should draw the armor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No.
I just draw it..... 
A tip is to draw the char first then draw the armour, then rub out the character parts that are covered. That gives the impression of the armour's thickness without making the character look too thin.

Thanks for the tip... I look forward to doing that soon...

thats multitasking at it best right there. why do you need to know it for quadrepeds as well? is just in case the biology is for some field other than medicine.
uh its like having class a midnight for me right now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Erm...
we do use lab-rats.... and those are quadrupeds........
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I kinda figured that would be the case. might become useful later.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hmmmm
perhaps.
But hey, it's better than letting them laze about too much.

OR THEY GET FAT!!!! LIKE ALOT OF AMERICANS!!!

That's why gotta make em' work a bit.

Yes..... they were supposed to be serious for this particular picture...... cause you can't be doing random poses for such a reference.
So I guess they kinda got bored.......
Liked bio... cept for the names.
Though there's a lot of funny names in biology.... one of the funny ones is this odd signalling molecule that belongs to the "Hedgehog" family.....
and some smart guy happily named one of the 3 the "Sonic hedgehog" after a certain blue hedgehog...... (other two being "Indian hedgehog" and "desert hedgehog" )
Well, as they say, in biology, if you discover something, you can name it whatever you want.... and screw up future generations of budding biologists.
