Hello, how is everybody doing?
I’ve recently been working and studying perspective, and my last work that I posted showed a landscape painting with a bakery set into the environment. After finishing that project, I returned to drawing the human skull.
It’s an ongoing project, but the idea behind it is to make a proper study of the human skull and its anatomy — to understand proportions and shapes, and then boil them down into a simpler construction. I’ve started creating a guide on how to build the human skull from basic shapes.
This led me to study the mechanics of the skull — how the eye sockets are constructed, the width of the dental arch, and how each part relates to the others. The goal here is to learn deeply, and then have this knowledge as a reference in the back of my mind. That way, it becomes a solid foundation for drawing other skulls more freely, and it also makes the process more fun.
The next stage of this project will be to consider yin and yang influences in human skulls — beyond just shapes, silhouettes, and likeness. This is an element I’ve never seen addressed in any skull studies so far. By any artist,while I believe it can add a new layer of understanding and expression that ties anatomy to rhythm, character, and balance.
So anyways- here is what I’ve done so far. I hope it can be helpful to you too.
Let me know if you have any feedback or if you anything you’d like to add — I’d be more than happy to hear your thoughts.
Thank you very much
