This is the best skull drawing tutorial I've found so far! Thank you for sharing!

[MrMrannoying]

I thought you were saying “burn” instead of bone. I assumed it was some anatomical term for parts of the skill but it was just bone

[JD-ogyq]

My guy this video is as impressive as it is informative you’re a monster of an artist

[iceyshadow]

So youre a human printer and a freaking doctor too? legit you know what the nasal bone is the maxilla, everything of your anatomy is correct according to my medical books. good job

[luckyadrian]

Thanks for this lesson, after learning about the face anatomy and then learning about the detail of the skull, my potrait drawing become more and more accurate

[BaekhyunLuv]

This is the easiest and best skull tutorial !

[Kayxko]

In the beginning i'm always like "pshhhh.. I can do that, " then I start drawing 😣

[mobiusloop]

I have been looking forward to this! Thank you so much Dan! I can't wait to get started on my practicing. Also, thank you for doing these in various angles too!

[annabeatriz]

Eu estou impressionada com os resultados, depois de seguir seus passos e desenhar todas as partes separada, no final consegui desenhar a caveira sem olhar para a tela, e ficou bem melhor que antes. Parabéns e obrigada pelo ótimo vídeo!!

[kaicolt]

This is great! I really struggle with the shapes of the skulls and names glad how you broke it down to understand better

[KillerTacos]

Thanks so much for these! After you finish the series, could you show us how to draw both males and females from different angles? Ty

I had a real skull as a reference for drawing. It became my very first "masterpiece", although it took a long time to finish. This was 6 months after I'd started drawing, so I was an absolute beginner still. If I'd known about this video of yours, it would've probably helped me a lot. Although I must say, because I had no help whatsoever I now know the skull inside out. The hardest part to me was to get the zygomatic arch and that small hole below (int. acoustic meatus) to look propperly and three-dimensional. And strangely i strugled a lot with getting the teeth right too. On an old skull the teeth don't look as neat as in your drawing here. But I can say that in the end everyone was amazed how well it had turned out - and me too ... . All thanks to YOU Dan Beardshaw! Merci! Without your early videos I wouldn't have dared to begin drawing after I had turned fifty, being unemployed and mentally wrecked ... . I've since stayed away from the internet(Youtube) shortly after you'd started studying architecture. It's good to see, that you're still posting. I hope you're well and coping alright in this pandemic. I love it being able to draw while all others hang infront of their telly, playstation, or PC. - - - Seasons Greetings to you !🎄🖊🖼

Wow, fucking amazing! I was seeing you draw this and kept thinking "What the fuck? How can someone draw so beautifully and perfectly? It's like you were using a ruler or c cheat sheet underneath to draw things in the same size and proportion with such accurate calculations. This is truly mazing to see and yet not amazing because I can only imagine the years of practice

[Brunoki]

Great tutorial! I had a bit of trouble making sure the skulls were coherent with one another when doing the last exercice. I kept making the skulls shorter than they should be. Hopefully these will get ironed out over time as I practice. It can get exausting drawing skulls though! hehe

[thedarkriver]

damn good! the best part for me was the end with the skulls at different positions. This was difficult for me to visualize. Now I can practice each one. Thanks Dan for going the extra mile! KUDOS!!

[Midotaha]

So do I need to practice drawing the skull several times to know the placement of the features and then move on to drawing the simplified version?​

[stefanvp]

This is the best skull tutorial I've seen so far, thank you so so much 💪❤

[tyroneperry]

Man, this was so simple and so helpful. Thanks.

[ahmadrdadi]

amazing video thanks for sharing it. drawing the skull paid me off very will and I can`t wait to try to rotate the skull in perspective

[lonironi]

I can't do it! Why??
You are very, extremely talented. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a break down of bones on the skull before!!
Please don't ever under estimate you incredible mind.
