Studying the skull informs head construction. To start, choose a view and use a physical skull as reference. Start with simplified forms, focusing on major shapes and planes rather than details. Use this to test and refine your usual head construction approach. Pay attention to key landmarks like the brow, cheekbones, and jaw. Experiment with ways to incorporate skull anatomy into your process without drawing a full skull every time. The goal is to digest this information to enhance your overall head drawing skills.
