tried to overlay stan's drawings onto the photo to understand it better. even more confused.

Here is my lame attempt. It's quick because I have homework to do tonight. I hope this helps.

I think there is a misunderstanding. When I view Stan's drawing sessions, I see him creating the images without the use of calipers -- he's using his eyes and estimating where stuff should go (eyeballing). Sometimes those drawings can be off when comparing to the model. I like to use both eyeballing and measuring techniques. My measured drawings take a lot more time, but I would expect those to match up when I overlay my drawing on top of the model. On the other hand, I would also expect that my drawings created using the eyeballing method might not match the model. I find great value in practicing both methods. Good luck! I look forward to seeing your attempts.

maybe try overlaying again, but this time see if aligning the rib cage gives you a more accurate overlay =)

Got a feeling I really need to dive into back muscles to get better at this...

I also have a question about the perspective here; I really don't see the clavicle like the way Stan has drawn it, which is from above. I read the horizon as about the glenoid cavity, which would mean we are looking slightly up at the clavicle wouldn't it? Another way to put it is, how much of the thoracic inlet do we see from this perspective? It looks flat to me, which would make the clavicle at least mostly horizontal. Am I missing something?

yes i agree.

In my humble opinion, as I don't really understand all these complex shapes, perspectives and positions of the bones myself, I think the drawing on this example is wrong.
I would draw it at eye level, the clavicle would be shortened so much due to extreme perspective, that it would almost disappear and the acromion process would be turned slightly inward, towards the pit of the neck, because of the sideway pull of the scapula (it seems a little flat here).
That being said, I think that Stan idealised the scapula, to make it a little longer.
Maybe experience will solve it all, but we could really use some construction method on rib cage and shoulder bones ( like the one we have for the pelvis), in order to be more confident in the future.

I really don't understand the first example in this video. The model is able to have the inferior border of the scapula almost horizontal, but Stan draws it at barely an upward angle. Am I misunderstanding how the scapula is positioned in the model and it is being drawn accurately or is Stan taking some liberties and drawing it not as extreme?

Agree, the medial border of the scapula looks almost horizontal but that does not makes sense from what she is doing. It looks like she's tilting anteriorly, but I don't think that would usually cause enough movement for the medial border to be horizontal. From the reference I see the medial border of the scapula angling towards trapezius, then the superior border turns inferiorly toward the corocoid process and glenoid cavity.
