I did a bunch of skull studies. I'm not very clear on the differences in male and female skulls.

I promise it started with construction! But it's weekend, felt good and it all ended up shaded. :)

Love a morning skull sketch! This breakdown was super helpful for getting a framework down to work with. I got a lot from this lesson!

One thing I notice I always do besides perspective issues would be that I shorten the length of the jaw I need to write that in big letters in front of my desk

Drawing skull is interesting! It is really useful for me to understand the big features of the skull. It is also helpful for building facial features more precisely. Thank you very much for this bonus lesson!

Imagining every direction IS building your foundation
