Mannequinization

Start practicing your anatomy skills by breaking down the torso and pelvic wedge into two simple boxes.

Next, identify key landmarks that are readily visible on nearly everybody:

  • sternum
  • diaphragm
  • thoracic arches (pelvis)
  • scapula (shoulder blades)

Last, add the limbs as simple cylinders.
