From new to old cartoons, the digital artist made eleven examples of cartoon characters' skeletons. In my opinion, one of the most extremely ridiculous shapes are that of Phineas from Phineas and Ferb, or Donald Duck, but the list shows there's a whole spectrum of strange examples. Take a look and see for yourself!
The artist spoke to Bored Panda: “I am very observant in the details; since I was a child, I noticed that some characters had parts of the body that anatomically did not correspond to normal, and I wondered what their skeleton would be behind those bodies. Today's cartoons abuse even more contours that would be difficult to exist in a human or animal form. So, with that in mind, I chose some characters from current drawings and others that have been well known for decades and decided to imagine if they had skeletons."
"I am an accountant, and I've used the Photoshop tool for my personal hobby for about 10 years. I also do photo restoration and photomontage work. I am self-taught; I learned to draw, use Photoshop since I was a child, all alone, just watching videos and tutorials. In this work, I used purely Photoshop, using skeletons of normal people and animals, and deforming the bones to fit the cartoon characters' shape."
The intriguing exploration of cartoon character anatomy reveals much about their unexpectedly disproportionate bodies. For enthusiasts keen to delve deeper into the bizarre skeletal structures of our beloved animated figures, it might be fascinating to explore how one artist has closely examined and illustrated their anatomy.
