Time Needed: 20 minutes
-
Draw An Incomplete Oval
To start off the shape of the skull, draw an oval and erase part of the bottom of it.
-
Add The Jaw
Use curved lines to draw the jaw bone.
-
Add The Teeth
Draw lines on the jaw to add teeth. Also add a crack on the top of the skull.
-
Draw The Nose
Noses on skeletons look kind of like upside down heart shapes, so draw one in the middle of the skull.

Add Color
Make the skull a little dirty, and add some color behind those eyes.
