Frame 122

Right?

---

Frame 123

So just look at this space.

---

Frame 124

Look at this space.

---

Frame 125

Right?

---

Frame 126

So from here, we already know what to do.

---

Frame 127

We just go like this and over here, I just need to make basically an idea here that from

---

Frame 128

here, see, from here, it's going like this, it's just going to be like this opening here

---

Frame 129

for this call.

---

Frame 130

I'm going to like do it like organic looking over here and over here the same thing, doing

---

Frame 131

it this way over here and just remembering the points where you're supposed to connect

---

Frame 132

to.

---

Frame 133

Right?

---

Frame 134

So once in the points, just when you've done it the other one right here, just look at it

---

Frame 135

and make it organic looking like this.

---

Frame 136

So once we've done this, everything else is simple.

---

Frame 137

We know that okay, well, really I can just do a line like this going down here.

---

Frame 138

See?

---

Frame 139

Let's go back to the formula and see what we need to understand about this.

---

Frame 140

See when we do go down over here, we know that it's going to be right below it a little

---

Frame 141

bit anyway.

---

Frame 142

Right?

---

Frame 143

Below this center line here over here.

---

Frame 144

So here, I'm just going to go like this over here and say that that's what it's going

---

Frame 145

to be.

---

Frame 146

And look, even where the circle is going, this helps us from the front view only that it

---

Frame 147

just gives us the ability because it's going back to this idea here anyways, right?

---

Frame 148

We had said that when you go like this, you're just coming down here.

---

Frame 149

So you know that it's going to be here.

---

Frame 150

So basically where this is, just roughly around here, you can go like this and you've got

---

Frame 151

the basic idea for the skulls down, right?

---

Frame 152

It's going to be just like this.

---

Frame 153

Right?

---

Frame 154

If you haven't seen an actual skull, I would recommend to look at it because you already know

---

Frame 155

how to draw it.

---

Frame 156

And when you look at it, you will get more information from it and you can add to the ideas that I'm

---

Frame 157

showing you, things that are more customized to your stuff, right?

---

Frame 158

You might notice that there's a small notch that you always like to pull on the skull.

---

Frame 159

You can do that.

---

Frame 160

Right?

---

Frame 161

It doesn't, it's up to you, but this just helps you understand how to do it.

---

Frame 162

And here basically we can just do the jaw like this, right?

---

Frame 163

So we know they've pretty much got it.

---

Frame 164

And these sections over here, see these things here that I'm doing?

---

Frame 165

This is obviously this guy over here, right?

---

Frame 166

This guy over here, this guy over here.

---

Frame 167

So look where this is going, right?

---

Frame 168

We have to look at it in this way where we made the line for the eye, line for the eye,

---

Frame 169

look where this goes and look where this goes, right?

---

Frame 170

So here we can just make it just like this over here, and here I can just go above and

---

Frame 171

do this, go above, do this.

---

Frame 172

And that's it.

---

Frame 173

And then I can just come in here and just squeeze it in a little bit, right?

---

Frame 174

Just start to make it look like the skull that I wanted to look like.

---

Frame 175

So that gives you a very good idea of how to do that.

---

Frame 176

So here we can now just lightly erase these concepts, just leave the anomalies behind.

---

Frame 177

And now you can start to add all your cool details here, start to make it more realistic

---

Frame 178

and stuff, right?

---

Frame 179

So here I'm just going to do my own kind of skull here, just add my own variations of these

---

Frame 180

lines here, right?

---

Frame 181

I know that there's going to be like a cut over here.

---

Frame 182

Usually I just keep my ideas very simple here, just like I'm showing you, right?

---

Frame 183

So I just want to do like conceptual idea over here for the skull.

---

Frame 184

Because I have this, I know that this is really just going to be here, like this over here,

---

Frame 185

right?

---

Frame 186

And I'm going to come over here and to just do it this way over here.

---

Frame 187

And then here we can just add different lines here to start to make it more realistic

---

Frame 188

looking over here, right?

---

Frame 189

So all these are the teeth I'm going to be here.

---

Frame 190

So you can add those if you want to over here, right?

---

Frame 191

The teeth are just going to be like this over here, right?

---

Frame 192

We can just add them like this, right?

---

Frame 193

It's just a conceptual idea here.

---

Frame 194

What we're really interested in is the ability to draw these skulls out.

---

Frame 195

Okay, so here I can just shade this in a little bit over here, just like this, right?

---

Frame 196

So I can work on this all day and do different things with it, make it more and more realistic

---

Frame 197

looking.

---

Frame 198

But you get the idea that how we were able to simplify that concept, right?

---

Frame 199

Okay, so now let's draw, draw it in three-fourths of you again, right?

---

Frame 200

So here we'll do another ball shape, right?

---

Frame 201

So usually like some of the variations you can do, you can do it like a ball shape over

---

Frame 202

here or you can do it a little more elongated if you want to, right?

---

Frame 203

Make it like a little bit longer, right?

---

Frame 204

It's the different type of skull that you're looking for.

---

Frame 205

So once we have this, we know that we just need to know the center of this over here.

---

Frame 206

We're doing a three-fourths view here, right?

---

Frame 207

So here's going to be the line over here, right?

---

Frame 208

I can just eyeball this and say, okay, well, I'm in the halfway here.

---

Frame 209

So I'm just going to come about here, right?

---

Frame 210

And then I'm going to find the half of this ball over here like this.

---

Frame 211

Okay.

---

Frame 212

So here's the thing to know, get yourself to understand.

---

Frame 213

Once you get this line here and once you divide this, let's just go back to the formulas

---

Frame 214

so we can remember this, right?

---

Frame 215

So in this circle here, see, as soon as I put the line with the bottom of this,

---

Frame 216

I know that the jaw is just going to start turning and go,

---

Frame 217

and halfway of this is where the jaw is, right?

---

Frame 218

So as soon as you do this, you know the halfway here is where the jaw is,

---

Frame 219

but all the way to the bottom, see, all the way to the bottom?

---

Frame 220

It's basically going to start to curve in this direction, right?

---

Frame 221

So it's here, goes here and here.

---

Frame 222

And that's it.

---

Frame 223

We just get the basic idea of it over here like this, right?

---

Frame 224

And then we just need to find the center of this whole head over here.

---

Frame 225

We can say that it's just going to be just like this,

---

Frame 226

kind of like going in perspective.

---

Frame 227

And we already said that, okay, we can just put a line here.

---

Frame 228

Look at this and just make an assumption that your idea is that line for the eye is going to be here.

---

Frame 229

So now let's just talk about how we did this box over here so we can do it here too.

---

Frame 230

The eyebrows over here, the bottom of the chin, if I divide this in half,

---

Frame 231

I know that the nose is going to be here and I know that I'm going to get the line to go in here.

---

Frame 232

Just like this, right?

---

Frame 233

The line goes here, I get my nostril, the nose area over here.

---

Frame 234

And I already know that I just need a box shape because it has to be half way here anyways, right?

---

Frame 235

It's going to be like this box here, over here.

---

Frame 236

And that box shape is also going to be on the other side.

---

Frame 237

So this will clue you in as to, okay, I see how to start to begin to just do these ideas much more quicker in this way, right?

---

Frame 238

It's just this idea here and because we have the box shape over here,

---

Frame 239

we can also look at it from that angle and just start to put that idea like this, right?

---

Frame 240

So remember that this is going in and over here it is here, right?

---

Frame 241

This is the front.

---

Frame 242

This is, look how back it goes when it's, this is the front and it's twisting around.

---

Frame 243

It's turning in this angle and it's coming over here.

---

Frame 244

So this way it's going to be the same thing.
