This skeleton was very similar in the legs, torso and arm
areas to a human skeleton even though the character was a cat. This included the shoulder, arm bones, ribs, hips, spine and leg bones. The long tail was connected to the bottom on
the spine like on regular cats and other mammals. The
hands and feet were very large, so larger bones were created to accommodate,
especially in making the three claws connected to the foot bones. The head was probably the most difficult
part, because of the unique rectangular shape.
Indents were made where the large nose and floating eyes were once placed. The ears and areas around the mouth, like the
jaw, were also created to follow his head shape as close as possible. The Pink Panther is a rather tall and skinny character, so I tried to make thin, long bones throughout his body to replecate this. I really enjoyed creating this skeleton drawing because I had never thought about the bone structure of cartoon character before, which was something that turned out to be creative and interesting.
