These were all done in pencil and are the basic outline for the fancy, intensely-decorated skulls. It is associated with death or lack of fear of it. This symbol has been used for a long time and can denote not only death but an also vital energy and the concentration of intelligence.The image of the deadhead is used in Orthodoxy, the so-called “Adam’s head”, and also decorate the hall on Halloween with such a pattern. As you already understood, today our lesson is about the skull.
First, let’s draw some skulls!
How to draw a skull
For the image of the proportional skeleton of the head, you can use geometric shapes.
Draw two circles and draw a grid, as shown in the figure.
Draw the outlines of the eyes, nose and mouth symmetrically with the drawn network. Paint the cheekbones and small details of the “face”.
Arm with an eraser and remove the extra pencil. Shade the head, not forgetting the game of light and shade.
Here is such a drawing.
Drawing a skull Side view
I remember the famous lines: “To be or not to be? – That is the question”. We tell you: “To be!” Follow the diagram below, and you will have a fantastic image.
Outline the main outlines – this is directly the shape of the head, eye socket, temporal bone and other trifles.
Paint the eye, cheekbone, mark mouth gap. Draw outlines and start shading.
Draw your teeth and paint a shard with small strokes, draw a piercing in the temporal bone. Add shadows.
As our object lies on the surface, show the darkness falling on it. Done!
Easy example how to draw a skull
For beginning artists, we suggest drawing an easy way to draw a skull. It is not realistic, but it retains the essence.
Draw a circle, then draw a U-shaped line to it. Then draw a curve like something like a pot or a horseshoe (here, as your fantasy allows).
Paint the eye sockets and oval nose. From your horseshoe, draw the upper jaw and two rows of teeth. Draw a crack on the back of your head.
Erase the auxiliary lines and circle the skull.
Stroke the picture, sometimes making blackouts.
We draw a pirate skull
To portray the pirate flag is quite simple: the outline of the skeleton of the head and crossed knuckles, it is also called the Jolly Roger. But we bring to your attention the pirate flag of Jack Rackham, where sabres intersect.

Skull with bones
We already mentioned Jolly Roger in the previous paragraph. It has different variations in its design. The skeleton itself can be full-face or in profile, and the bones can be located below the head, or behind it.
Outline the silhouette and line up the future bones. Draw one vertical and two horizontal lines. Draw the palpebral fissure, nose and jaw. Circle the contour of Roger and the bones. Next gently shade, use different tones of a blackout. We offer to watch the video lesson.
Skull with a snake
Conduct various experiments. For example, to depict Adam’s head with a snake coming out of the sockets, by the way, this is a favourite tattoo design.
The basic principles remain the same. First, make a sketch. Then, in the usual way, draw all the details of the head and draw a snake. Pay attention to the correct location of the head of the snake. Next, apply to hatch.
We attach a video master class.
Skull with flowers
Another famous tattoo art is the image of a skeleton with a rose or other colours.
You already know how to draw a skeleton of a head from different angles, so it will not be too difficult for you. Pay attention to the image of roses. They need to be conveyed most plausibly, drawing each petal and adding volume with the help of proper shading.
