Oh, man. When i was presented with this idea i was just as shocked as the rest of the class. We have spent so many hours just studying the skull and learning all the pieces and parts, and the idea of memorizing all of their correct placements is kind of daunting.
Even though these drawings look a lot more generalized than the skulls i have been drawing, I still am happy with the outcome--I didnt do so bad! I think the most fun part was correcting the skull. I saw that I wasn't nearly as off as I thought when I was drawing the skulls from memory. Also, correcting the drawings made me realize how much i had learned in the class. It was so easy to figure out what went wrong.
The top two images were from memory and the black charcoal in the bottom three were from memory. The red/brown color was the corrections. Despite my generally positive outlook on this activity, I am still nervous about the test on monday! Holy mackerel, this is going to be tough.
I agree, doing these drawings from memory is incredibly daunting!! But I honestly think you have done a great job, especially since this once your first attempt at a memory drawing. I think that you have all the basic necessities down, just a little bit of shifting of the features is all you really needed to work on, which was a hell of a lot better than I did! Great job!!
