Studying the skeleton and knowing it's proportions, joints and form is fundamental to life drawing. Life drawing is fundamental to animation. The Pelvis is the most complicated bone in the human body. It's not an easy task to simplify the pelvis. It is one of those things that takes practice drawing over and over to commit to memory.

"Essentially you can see it as two plates at angles to each other - the illiac masses - connected at the back by the spine and at the front by the pubis bones. You can visualize it as a box within the body, or as a sort of butterfly shape. You can think of the pelvis as the keystone that bridges the legs and supports and balances the spine above - you can also think of it as a basket that holds the guts and sex organs. It expresses itself on the outer form subtly, as arcs that curve down towards the groin in the front. Huge bunches of leg muscles attach themselves to the iliac ridge from below, and the abdominal and oblique muscles from above." [source]
Due next week. 10 Pelvis studies from the skeleton in the studio (not from text book)
Below are some examples of studies done by other animation students:
