I'm working on a series of white on black skulls as we speak. Interesting timing

Series name? Would love to see it when it comes out

You make me happy! Thank you.

I don't want to step on any toes here... BUT there's a BIG BIG PIECE of really easy, cheap advice for your antlers... {Mostly, because it wasn't mentioned in the video} NEVER use a pre-DRAWN piece for a visual aid... or guide! GET A PHOTOGRAPH!!! Antlers and horns have a "ROUGHLY SYMMETRICAL" appearance to them, but they are NOT truly symmetrical. It's subtle at a glance, and you can easily just let your brain say "Meh, they're as symmetrical as eyes and nostrils, so we're just gonna match these." I've been a knife-maker for a couple decades, now, and Bone and Antler handles have been among THE most popular materials I can get my hands on... SO I've bought, traded, sold, and cut up a LOT of antlers. NO two are remotely quite the same, even on the same animal. They grow in a little different, and they wear down a little different, and that simply adds up to a "Symmetrical effect" without actually being symmetrical. They're close enough that the animal won't break its neck for carrying them... BUT don't forget, this animal is used to crashing into another animal of the same size with them, and wielding them like a spiked club ON ITS HEAD... so there's some pretty serious construction going on in the neck, too... BUT seriously... I've had sets where two spikes on one side were easily two inches long and curved up, and on the other, only a bit more than an inch long and pointed DOWN... Especially among deer, elk, moose, and the "multi-lobed" types of antlers, they can get pretty far out of symmetry and there's nothing wrong... SO relax... Chances are, if you just get "sorta close" from one side to the other with your antlers, especially "size-wise", then it's close enough to look natural... You'll get better if you spend some time examining pic's (especially photo's) of the animals as they are in the wild, and study close... download the pic's and ZOOM the hell out of them... look careful and pick apart those details about where they're not quite the same... As you get better at noticing (and defeating your brain's impulse to "make 'em as symmetrical as eyes and nostrils" by rote) you'll naturally get a better sense of what nature has already decided is "good enough for government work"... and THEN your art will look just that touch more like the real thing... Singular "horns" like sheep and goats are a bit more symmetrical statistically, but still almost never quite perfect... One is almost always a little longer or more shapely than the other, and sometimes you get an animal that's completely "lop-lolly"... Like a ram with one horn twisted to point upward, and the other bent and more out to the side or even pointed down... It's rare, but it DOES happen... Nothing particularly against symmetry for cartoons and all, but in portrait quality, it's a little different ballgame. Hope this helps... It's also PERFECTLY ALRIGHT SOMETIMES, to do one of the rare conditions/shapes or imbalances to "show some character"... Just don't over-use it as an excuse to avoid trying to keep a little balance to your work. It should make you uncomfortable until you can be sure you got it right... AND that only comes with PRACTICE, including examining all those pics, vid's and photo's for their little imperfections from nature... ;o)

Is nice, I like it. I give 5 stars, For being straight and simple.

THE BETTER ART CHANNEL YOU HAVE. I love your explanations. Thanks to you🎉

As someone who has a weird obsession with adding skulls to my oc's this will come in so much handy!

if you haven’t already you should make a video about how to make characters diverse like different features such as the eyes, nose, body type, etc. it would be a really fun way to learn how to draw better and accurately when drawing characters who have different features!!

I am making a comic consisting of skull animals and this really helped me

It's as if we are animals too 😱🤯

I find that knowing anatomy personally really helpful it art. Thank you!

Great video, made with love

awesome thank you :)

Finally. After all those NatGeo documentaries, i can draw.... Skeleton TRex from NATM

The crocodile skull isn't a crocodile skull, it's a Pseudosuchian skull, a Prestosuchus skull, I think. They were animals that were related to crocodiles, alligators, and gharials, but were terrestrial and resembled dinosaurs (kind of). Also, pterodactyloid skulls are extremely weird, most paleontologists don't even try to identify pterodactyloid skull bones, the nasal bones in particular. (Most people, except for David Peters)

oh hi..!
