skull

This was in response to a friend’s art challenge. It was fun to try a new style.

Skull with pen and acrylic

Oil painting of a skull for halloween.

In the Finnish mythology killing of a bear was followed by a great feast in honour of the bear (peijaiset), where a substantial part of the celebrations consisted of convincing the bear's spirit that it had died accidentally and hadn't been murdered. Afterwards, the bear's skull was hung high upon a pine tree so its spirit could re-enter the heavens. The bones of the bear were then buried under the pine. Reference for this work is my old drawing of karhunkallopetäjä/bearskullpine in the Riisitunturi. Also practice sketch of bear skull and at last photo i took of pine.

Pilot marker pen on Moleskine sketchbook paper

My first try using charcoal a few years back.

a trans skull, bc I'm still a boy when it's not pride month. this isn't part of my big story thing, just something I made for fun since I haven't posted in a while. I'm considering starting a sticker/patch business, so comment if u would be interested in seeing that or not.

Practice in crosshatching and drawing skulls in black ink pen, its not perfect but we are getting there folks! Also, special thanks to fellow doodle addict ❀Misti❀ for her awesome crosshatching tutorial, girl you are awesome!

Let me Skull your thoughts

Patron Saint of Woodpeckers and Hangovers. And possibly headaches. I think I remember reading that woodpeckers probably all have headaches, even with their tongues and flexible skulls. I have a headache. #patronSaint

I wanted to do an original piece since I usually draw from reference, I hope you all enjoy.

I've combined Inktober and Drawlloween to create a bunch of big ink-wash paintings of horror themes. I'm really excited about these!!! I can't wait to have 31!

Ink, charcoal and carbon pencil on paper

Colored pencil on toned paper

24x30 canvas A weathered steer skull fixed against a wagon wheel, drawn in graphite, charcoal, and ink, evokes the grit and resolve of westward migration. The skull stands as a quiet emblem of endurance, sacrifice, and survival, while the wheel anchors the piece in motion and passage. Westbound ’49 references the year many headed west in search of promise, capturing the stark beauty and cost of that journey in restrained black and white.

My brother found me a squirrel skull so I tried painting it… I used acrylic, watercolor, and gouache

Spider’s skull hideout

Happy Halloween!

This is was more of an experiment as I wanted to see what black ink would like on paper with an "aged" like background. I think it came out quite nicely but I also think that the black ink might seem a bit too bold. I'm not really sure.

Scratchboard skull study

Might be a cool tattoo if your into drinking and spiders lol

Long time, no post! This is a recently completed RPG-related freelance job.

Superstitions: Skull. It was claimed in Ireland for many years that if a man took an oath on a skull and was lying as he did so, he would be struck dead soon thereafter. * Maybe we should bring that back and make politicians swear on the skulls of those who lied and died. I bet there would be less lying thereafter. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGACG5jBcbo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
