Drawing a skull with a pencil

It is associated with death or the lack of fear of it. In fact, this symbol has been used since ancient times and can mean not only death, but also vital energy and concentration of the intellect. The image of a death’s head is used in Orthodoxy, the so-called “Adam’s head”, and this design is also used to decorate the hall on Halloween. As you already understand, today our lesson is dedicated to the skull.

How to draw a skull step by step

Stage 1
Start your drawing with a sketch. Outline the silhouette of the head in a ¾ spread. Draw a semicircle, then draw the outline of the lower jaw and highlight the temporal lobe. Divide the front part with two horizontal lines.

Stage 2
To maintain symmetry, divide your face with a vertical stripe. Draw the outlines of the eye sockets and nasal bone. Sketch the cheekbones and jaw. Draw the details of the temporal lobe.

Stage 3
At this stage it is necessary to depict the teeth and other details of the jaws. Erase the guide lines and add additional contours to the main outline in the eye sockets, nasal bone and the upper plane of the cheekbones. With this trick you will achieve volume in your drawing.

Stage 4
Darken the eye sockets and the rest of the inner parts. Draw small details.

Stage 5
At the final stage, do not rush, shade, play with tones, achieve the correct transmission of light and shadow. You can use a piece of white paper and smooth out the strokes in a circular motion.

Drawing a skull with a pencil

Images in pencil on a white background create contrast, they are rich, and immediately attract the attention of viewers.

Using a hard pencil, sketch out the main features. Draw the frontal bone in the form of a circle, then draw the cheekbones and lower jaw. Roughly mark the eye sockets and nasal cleft, and also draw a line where the teeth will be. Don't put pressure on the pencil, this is a sketch.

Draw the temporal lobes. To depict the eye sockets, draw quadrilaterals with rounded corners, and the nose can be compared to an inverted triangle. Draw small details.

Use a dark pencil to draw all the internal planes and begin shading.

Add details, such as broken bones. Armed with different pencils, apply chiaroscuro and shadow on a horizontal surface.


How to draw a human skull

Geometric shapes can be used to depict the proportional skeleton of the head.
Draw 2 circles and draw a grid as shown in the picture.

Thanks to the drawn grid, draw the outlines of the eyes, nose and mouth symmetrically. Outline the cheek bones and small details of the “face”.

Arm yourself with an eraser and remove the excess pencil. Shade the head, not forgetting about the play of light and shadow.

This is how the drawing turned out.

Side view

The famous lines come to mind: “To be or not to be? - that is the question". We tell you: “Be!” Follow the diagram below and you will end up with an amazing image.

Outline the main outlines - this is the shape of the head, the eye socket, the temporal bone and other little things.

Outline the eye, cheekbone, outline the mouth. Trace the outlines and start shading.

Draw the teeth and sketch the crock with small strokes, depict a split in the temporal bone. Add shadows.


Since our subject is lying on a surface, show the shadow falling on it. Ready!

Easy example

For beginner artists, we suggest drawing an easy way to draw a skull. It is not realistic, but it retains the very essence.

Outline a circle, then add a U-shaped line to it. Then draw with a curved line something similar to a pot or a horseshoe (as your imagination allows).

Draw the eye sockets and oval nose. From your “horseshoe” draw the upper jaw and 2 rows of teeth. Draw a crack on the back of the head.

Erase the auxiliary lines and outline the skull.

Shade the drawing, making dark spots in places.

Drawing a pirate skull

Drawing a pirate flag is quite simple: the outline of a skeleton head and crossed knuckles, it is also called the Jolly Roger. But we bring to your attention Jack Rackham's pirate flag, where sabers cross.

Skull and crossbones

We already mentioned the Jolly Roger in the previous paragraph. It has various variations in its design. The skeleton itself can be frontal or in profile, and the bones can be located below the head or located behind it.

Outline the silhouette and outline the future bones with lines. Draw one vertical and two horizontal lines. Draw the eye slits, nose and jaws. Trace the outline of Roger and the bones. Next, carefully shade, use different shading tones. We invite you to watch the video tutorial.

Skull with snake

Conduct various experiments. For example, depicting Adam’s head with a snake coming out of the eye sockets, by the way, is a popular tattoo design.

The basic principles remain the same. First make a sketch. Then, according to the usual scheme, draw all the details of the head and draw the snake. Pay attention to the correct positioning of the snake's head. Next, apply shading.
Attached is a video master class.

Skull with flowers

Another famous tattoo art is an image of a skeleton with a rose or other flowers.
You already know how to draw a head skeleton from different angles, so this won't be too difficult for you. Pay attention to the image of roses. They need to be conveyed in the most believable way, drawing out each petal and adding volume using the correct shading.
Check out the video tutorial.

How to draw a fiery skull

We offer here such a flight of fantasy, reminiscent of footage from the film “Ghost Rider”. We won't bore you with unnecessary words. In this example, you need to take time to draw the flames. Check out the step-by-step example below.

Skeleton

Also, you can see how to draw not only a skull, but the entire skeleton.

THE ARISE OF ADAPTATIONS IN ANIMALS

Charles Darwin, trying to figure out the mechanism of evolution, suggested that the reasons for the appearance of differences between individuals of the same species are hereditary variability, the struggle for existence and natural selection. As a result of variability, new characteristics appear. Some of them are inherited. In nature, there is a struggle between individuals for food, water, light, territory, and a sexual partner. If new characteristics turn out to be useful for an individual under certain environmental conditions, helping to survive and leave offspring, then they are preserved by natural selection and fixed in generations during the process of reproduction. Individuals with harmful traits are eliminated. The scientist confirmed his assumptions by observing the work of breeders. He discovered that in the process of artificial selection, a person crosses individuals with certain characteristics desired by the breeder and obtains various breeds and varieties. Charles Darwin suggested that something similar happens in nature. As a result of natural selection, individuals emerge that have new adaptations to environmental conditions.

THE ARISE OF ADAPTATIONS IN ANIMALS

Biologists of the 19th century J.-B. Lamarck and Charles Darwin explained the reasons for the emergence of new species in different ways. The first believed that new characters in animals and plants appear as a result of their internal desire to form new adaptations. It forces organisms to exercise in achieving their goals and thus acquire new properties. Thus, according to Lamarck, the giraffe, which hunts for food in tall trees, developed a long neck, ducks and geese developed webbed feet, and deer, forced to butt heads, developed antlers. It is not for nothing that the scientist believed that it is not the organ being exercised that gradually disappears, but the organ being exercised is improving. In addition, Lamarck believed that traits acquired by the body as a result of exercise are always useful, and they are necessarily inherited.

Charles Darwin, trying to figure out the mechanism of evolution, suggested that the reasons for the appearance of differences between individuals of the same species are hereditary variability, the struggle for existence and natural selection.

KIWI BIRD

Kiwis, or wingless birds, are flightless ratites of New Zealand. Kiwi is the size of a regular chicken, weighing from 1.4 to 4 kg. Sexual dimorphism is characteristic: females are larger than males. The kiwi has a pear-shaped body, with a small head and short neck. Kiwi feathers are more like thick wool, they are soft gray or light brown. Kiwi is characterized by the greatest reduction in wings among birds: they are only 5 cm in length and are almost invisible among the plumage. However, the kiwi has retained the habit of hiding its beak under its wing when resting. Kiwis have short but very strong four-toed legs with sharp claws. The kiwi has no tail. The skeleton is not pneumatic, the bones are heavy.

Kiwis do not rely on vision - their eyes are very small, only 8 mm in diameter. Hearing and smell are much better developed. Kiwi has a very long, flexible, thin, straight or slightly curved beak, which reaches a length of 95-105 mm in males and 110-120 mm in females. The nostrils of the kiwi open at the end of the beak, while in other birds they open at the base of the beak.

The normal body temperature of kiwi is 38 °C, which is two degrees lower than that of other birds and closer to the body temperature of mammals.

Kiwis live primarily in damp evergreen forests. Long fingers on their feet help them not to get stuck in swampy ground. They lead an exclusively twilight and nocturnal lifestyle. During the day, the kiwi hides in a dug hole, hollow or under tree roots. The great gray kiwi's burrows are a real labyrinth with several exits.

Kiwis are extremely territorial birds, and the mating pair, and especially the male, fiercely defends its nesting area, which can occupy from 2 to 100 hectares, from competitors. Birds mark the boundaries of their territory using cries that can be heard several kilometers away at night. Kiwis go hunting approximately 30 minutes after sunset. Their food consists of insects, mollusks and earthworms, as well as fallen berries and fruits. Kiwis search for prey using their sense of smell and touch - by raking the ground with their feet and plunging their beaks deep into it, they literally “sniff out” worms and insects. On occasion, kiwis do not refuse small amphibians and crustaceans.

Unlike most birds, female kiwis have both functioning ovaries, not just the left one. Kiwi is the record holder among birds for the relative size of eggs laid: in an ordinary kiwi, it weighs up to 450 g, about 1/4 of the mass of the bird itself. The laid egg is incubated by the male, who leaves him only during feeding.

The incubation period takes 75-85 days. Parents usually do not care for the offspring and abandon them immediately after hatching. The life expectancy of kiwi is long - up to 50-60 years.
