  • 5 Form breakdowns from the provided Reference image (courtesy of StudioGrafit!) 
    You can find the files in the first part of this lesson. 
  • Invent 10-15 skulls, be sure to include the following;
  1. Starting with the Cranium shape
  2. Jaw horseshoe/magnet shape
  3. Browridge
  4. Nasal Cavity
  5. Cheekbones
  6. Eye Sockets
  7. Barrel of the Mouth
  8. Chin
  • Then introduce lighting on each one, from any directions. 

 

  • HARD MODE: (Do this ONLY if you want to get REALLY good)
    -Pick 1 skull from the reference provided, and much like in the Apple lesson, paint it 8 times in 5 minute intervals. 
    -Do this again with 3 more skulls 

  • EPIC MODE:
    Using 3 skull reference images, draw a composition of floating skulls with a single light source from the top. Allow them to cast shadows onto each other. Consider ALL the things discussed in the rendering lessons; form, core shadows, bounce light, etc. 

    GOOD LUCK

2nd time doing the course. Spent a LOT of time studying the planes of the skull more in-depth. Here are the resources I used: Proko Skull: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/male-skull-1e54622b84ab46fd9f4518c47fa60929 Skull Planar: https://sketchfab.com/models/3c85221828f64408b8dd23022319159c/embed?autostart=1

For anybody having trouble like me or who haven't started yet, I recommend actually moving onto the next lesson and watching all the videos in "Skulls Without Reference." Ahmed goes over more in the next lesson about building the skull. Watch all those vids and then come back to do this lesson, don't skip this. You got this. Also check out 3D models of skulls online. There are some you can move around right in your browser. Proko has these models but they're apart of the portrait fundamentals course... not sure if they're unlocked free of charge but do go on the course page to see. Helps with understanding forms

I found this assignment immensely difficult. Seems like something I'll have to constantly practice. For now I plan on moving on to the next section.
