How to draw a skeleton quickly in an Exam?

We all know that the more elaborate our answers in the paper, the more marks we will get. In Biology paper the elaboration can of course be gotten through drawing diagrams and labeling them correctly. But due to the shortage of time, mostly students skip drawing diagrams and loose an important opportunity. So here are some tips at drawing the human skeleton which should give your Biology paper an extra boost, if you happen to have a question from the unit on Skeleton, movement and Locomotion.

1. Learn to be quick in drawing. this can only be if you do loads of practice. I drew this rough image in less than 2 minutes, including the labeling. I know it is not neat and pretty but it was fast and just a practice sketch. If you can do a rough drawing in 2 minutes, you can make a very tidy one in five (for the Exams).
2. Consider the skeleton to be a man, with a head, two legs, two arms and an abdomen. Instead of flesh however the skeleton will have bones,
3. If you know which bones are where and there rough size and shape, you can make a quick skeleton.
4. As this blog is for the students till their twelfth grades, I will say don't worry about the bony tubercles, facets and tuberosities. Just give each bone a rough sketchy feel, so that it looks professional even though it is not.
5. And finally be very specific about the labeling's, every bone has its own importance so don't mess with their names. labeling's show the Examiner how much you actually know, so be careful with them. have fun with your Biology paper !!!
