Anatomy Drawing: The Head and Neck

The combination of skull and surface anatomy in this study is quite macabre. It's an interesting project that gives a satisfying result for the student. Begin with a self-portrait in the mirror, sketching the structure of the full face and paying great attention to observing the brows, jawline , and correctly placing the eyes. Then look for corresponding points as you draw the skull. Touch can be useful: feel where the bone sits under your eye, and where your teeth sit behind your closed lips.
