Tonal Skeleton Art of a Human Skull

For this project we had to draw a life size and anatomically correct skull from a newly found skeleton. We had to work under two different forms of light in order to have a sense of what the temperature of light was reflecting off of a specific side of the skull. We also had to use conte crayons in order to capture the different temperatures of light on the skull. The skull needed to be elevated in order to captured the full thing but not every single detail was required to be captured.
