What goes on skulls?
KETCHUP.
But also, faces. So I drew some over some skulls. Playing with ink, also trying to get a feel for how faces go on top of the skull structure. The one I drew from Henrietta is stupidly too long because my second sketch of the first sketch was, surprise surprise, shoddy and I failed to check it, so I didn't realise it was wrong til the face looked weird. Oh well! I have named her (him?) Elsa.
Elsa on top of stretched Henrietta. Followed the bones rather too closely here.
Leaf dude of indeterminate sex. Neck dodgy as cribbed from a dodgy picture online. WHy do they have a vine tattooed on their head? I don't even know! Why don't you? The chin may take over the world someday.
Words of criticism and advice much appreciated! :D
Hee, pretty people. The thing I always found about skulls when drawing them is that the front plane and back plane are diagonally slanted (towards the right if the person is facing left) and the back plane is set slightly higher up than the front one, such that when you look from the front you are drawing all the face plane and also the top surface very foreshortened, and the chin hides some of the neck. However tbf most the skulls I had to draw seriously were of old world monkeys and you are drawing fairly youthful white people who have significantly less slant.
