Skull Study

This week’s studies for life drawing include an assortment of skulls drawn in different angles. I just purchased these wonderful Faber Castell Polychromos pencils (White, Walnut Brown, Indian Red, and Ivory) and took them for a test run.The rendering was done in craft paper which I precut from a large roll I own back in Manila. Backgrounds were finished with a black Muji pencil, and compressed charcoal.

I am very happy with the end result! Somehow my frontal skull seems to pop out well from the paper. For those who are looking to purchase the materials at Hong Kong, you can buy the pencils individually at Cheung Nam Stationary store at 503 Nathan Road, Yao Ma Tei.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so kind as to support me for the Florence + The Machine contest at talenthouse. :) The response has been so overwhelming and I can’t thank you all enough. I’m just awaiting the results at this point and am hoping for the best.

There’s more art to follow in the coming weeks. In the off chance that I hit a dry spell, I have a photo set coming up with my trip to the Ten Thousand Buddhas monastery. Getting through that trip is admittedly one of my more challenging feats to date!
