A skull is often considered a form of art City Scars - Graffiti and Fight For Urban Beauty - It is widely acknowledged that art is highly subjective and truly lies in the eye of the beholder. Often, differences of opinion merely reveal individual preferences, and it is generally agreed that these personal tastes should not override the freedom granted to the artist and their work. However, the issue of graffiti is one of… in its own right, serving as an iconic symbol for tattoos and other designs. In fact, it’s a favorite subject to draw for many because of its simplicity. However, some beginning artists might not know where to start. In this brief article, you will discover the steps to create your own skull drawing, which becomes easy once you realize that every drawing follows a process.
First and foremost, we need to gather some reference material to visualize our intended piece of art. Fortunately, there are numerous online sources where you can find and use a skull image for study and drawing inspiration. Use this image as a guide and have a few practice sessions on scrap paper before you begin your ideal skull sketches.
The initial step of drawing a skull begins with a simple shape, usually an oval, which represents the head. You don’t need to worry too much about the details at this stage, as they will be addressed later on. Establishing a foundation is all we want to achieve here, and the shape and positioning of the head structure are entirely up to you.
Next, the primary skull features need to be identified and marked on the oval head shape. Sketch in the eyes, mouth, and jawline, and don’t forget to roughly pencil in the all-important cheekbones of the skull. After that, we’ll begin to draw the details, making your skull appear more skeletal.
Defining the highlights of any drawing that requires a sense of character is crucial in skull art. Darken the pencil lines and draw in the skull’s nose while rounding off the cheekbones. Also, thicken some pencil lines that make up the jawline and the skull’s scalp to add a little extra touch.
You may choose to ink the drawing after cleaning it up to give it a more stylized and professional appearance. Instead of merely tracing over the pencil lines, try to improve the original drawing by incorporating cross-hatching and other pen and ink techniques.
