@David Colman Just came back from a trip to Uganda an got to see gorillas from 3 feet away, this lesson really helped me tie in a lot of the structural lagoons i had. It is really difficult to understand their bone structure under their dark hair. Still having trouble drawing out of pure imagination though, guess i need to practice more ore do you have any suggestions?

@David Colman First time ever actually drawing skulls, never studied them, and finally understood how foundation and structure are so important!!
Took a good couple of hours, and worth it, can't wait to continue the course.
Anyone that sees this, I am very open to constructive criticism! What can I do to improve?

looking good. thanks for the kind words. I suggest being a little more objective in terms of shapes. Try using box forms to simplify the volumes and intricate details. It will help you get a better macro understanding of the forms and then couple that with the rhythms of the angles and detailed parts to find an organic flow to a solid object. Hope that helps

I drew couple of skulls. I really enjoyed the process. I hope I will be able to memorize the basic shapes!

Trying drawing through your forms more.. less countour, less pretty- look for obtaining knowledge not making a pretty picture
