Shouldering the burden — focus on the coracoid.

It’s been a while since I’ve added a post here.  I’ve been busy in waiting rooms, getting evaluated.  Trying to get the all-clear to travel to norther Spain for this month and next.  It’s a boring process (well, it is coracoid).

I posted this drawing elsewhere and a pompously helpful “critic” pointed out that I had drawn the acromion, not the coracoid.  Uh, dude, the coracoid points front.  You can think of the acromion following the lead of the coracoid.  They function together.  I like to think of the coracoid pointing the way, in part because it’s so hard to feel.  You have to concentrate.

And it’s hard to draw.  I think I’ve said that in other posts.  There’s a beauty in that: the clunkiness of its form, it’s blind clumsiness.  It’s easy to get a feel for the, to get a sense of, the back of your shoulderblades.  It’s hard to differentiate the front.  There’s so much going on: tendons, ligaments, nerve tissue, muscle tissue.
