The drawing about Nomadic objects in 3 evnrionments

This drawing is based on the previous thoughts - 3 environments (cliff, forest, swamp) are a continuous landscape and the 9 curiosities of the study object (knee) having picnic in the 3 environments.
The main concept of this drawing is NOMAD and I used the figures to connect all the other curiosities when imaging the object having picnic in 3 environments. Based on the moving principles of legs, knee is an important hinge to control the movement of legs. This is why I chose ‘the knee’ as my study object, and to connect the 9 curiosities. In the study process, I always keep the relations between the nomadic body movements and the environments in mind.
Next, I started to draw arcs to trace the motions and also gave them notations. The continuous motions represent how to travel or picnic in 3 environments (Cliff: a vertical running movement; Forest: 2 parts - one is running through the trunks of trees and the other is through the thickets of treetop; Swamp: amphibian move out from underwater to land). Also, using line graph to present the energy and speed of the moving object The density of line presents moving pace (the higher density shows faster pace and the larger graph presents more energy used.
In this drawing, 2 nomadic journeys are shown - in continuous landscape (rushing out water - through trunk of trees / thickets of trees - climbing to the top of cliff)
The next step, I think I should strengthen the ideas from 9 curiosities, such as Visual camouflage and the interaction of dynamic events. Maybe use photographic / lines / notations, etc.
