Drawing Animal Skulls Sketchbook Studies

Описание: This week's sketchbook spread was filled up with two graphite studies of animal skulls that I created using very basic drawing supplies. I pushed for realism a bit more than I usually do with these, using a blending stump to smooth transitions between different values instead of alternative shading techniques.

I'm sharing my entire process in this video, starting from preliminary freehand sketch and moving on to developing different values in layers.
As always, I start with largest, general shapes and work my way towards smaller shapes and details as I go.

Hope you find it helpful and inspiring. :)
