What it concludes

• Drawing the skull with boxy, angular shapes is better for conveying clear information than curves.
• The lower jaw should be treated independently from the rest of the skull and hinges behind the cheekbone.
• Adding necks and ears to skull studies significantly improves character drawing skills.
• Blocking out skulls with a single layer and locking transparency before painting speeds up the rendering process.
