When I was that age the only body parts I drew were breasts and penises.

So I haven't advanced a whole lot since then. Sue me.

That's a pelvis, NewBornHippy. It's even spelled right.

I thought these were really good.

However, this one bore too close a resemblance to a certain falafel-wielding denizen of the No Spin Zone for my comfort.

{On preview: MANDIBLE!!!! I couldn't figure out what the "mandle" was supposed to be until just now. I kept thinking "I have almonds in my face?"}

Daniel's "skeletan" is better than I could draw.

Yeah, that Daniel has real talent. I was pretty impressed with most of those kids' ability to conceptualize the body, but Daniel took it a step further by making really good drawings.

Pffft. Amanda put the renal pelvis in entirely the wrong place. What are they teaching in these schools, anyway?

from this day forward, i will refer to them as blood tubes.

I hope my eyes are a bit more, um, spherical, than this one.

Either these these are the children of doctors, or the students of a very good teacher. Frankly they seem to have more of a clue than many of the med-students I work with (though med-students can also be cute).

Zach's brain is beautiful.

May I just say, I'm an ass for posting that cross-reference to a serious anatomy thread. I only just now looked at this, and I think it's pretty funny.

Daniel is a tracer.

This one would make a great indy alt-rock CD cover, if they were still being manufactured.

They all draw better than I can. ; )
