Anatomy: Thumbnails

Anatomy: Research

I looked in more adult books for information and images on earwigs but there didn't seem to be much at all, so I borrowed this book from Chatham Library and it has the stuff I need. I have spent hours in my garden trying to find earwigs to take some pictures for myself, after a summer of them being everywhere they are now out of season and nowhere to be seen so for now these images will be my reference.

Anatomy: Human vs Earwig

Fig. 01. Human vs Earwig table.

I made this table to get a basic comparison of information of the two different subjects, this will help when I decide which particular features and habits to incorporate into my final image.

Fig. 02. Microscopic view of an earwig head.


This image is going to be a key inspiration for my painting, I love knowing the detail, and there are some funky shapes I can work with.

Fig. 03. Male and Female earwigs.


Basic visual information.

Fig. 04. Anatomical Female human body.


Reference imagery of the female anatomy, perfect for this anatomy project.

Again, Reference imagery.
