Observational Drawing- Still Life

Skull

Pen and watercolor

For this project I had to draw an object from observation. Naturally I chose to draw a skull. I don't know what kind of skull this is. It was more difficult than anticipated because I am far better and a lot more used to drawing from photos. This challenged me to take a 3D object and make it 2D on my paper.

The materials I used on this project are a micron pen and watercolor.

Most of this drawing is rather straight forward. The only point where my brain got creative was when I added the watercolor. For some reason I didn't want tp make it black and white. So I chose a blue watercolor to give the drawing flavor. I am not very proud of this drawing because the skull looks a little strange and not like the actual one I was drawing. The drawing is alright but it could have been much better.
