Anatomy of a human skull

Anatomy of a human skull is very important for every portrait artist. This is because the flesh and skin on the skull bones is only a few millimeters thick. When drawing a portrait, you are actually drawing the skull's shape. Without good knowledge of its construction, it would be very easy to make numerous mistakes. For example, did you know that the base of the nose is on the same level as the bottom edge of the cheekbone? This is also the level of the ear lobule. In the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course, students draw skull models from life. Such paper models are provided to them free of charge. To get the models and learn how to draw realistic portraits and figures, take one of the best drawing courses - Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course
