Craniums & Stuff

Amy's Lecture Notes 4/26/10

Yesterday I began to explore the skull bones. We learne
d the proportions of cranium to face, which are probably surprising to many, but I had a good idea prior. This doesn't mean, however, that I was able to draw the skull right away! It's going to take a lot of practice to learn how the bones of the face sit in relation to the cranium. I find that I've been elongating the cranium and shortening the height of the face. Drawing from the maniken skull rather than life was very beneficial to my understanding of the bone structure. I am planning on doing a few more skeletal based studies to further my understanding of the figure.
