Tigar Skull Non-Human Observations #3


This is a quick 5 minute observational sketch of a tiger skull using felt tip pens.

Although it is a relatively simple study it is also quite detailed in the snout and jaw, which are the focus of this piece. Because the ink from felt tip pens are absorbed by paper easily a lot of care had to go into avoiding making big blotches of thick lines where detailed line work would have been needed such as in the nasal cavity and the far left of the jaw where it is easy to notice some of those fine lines have become swollen and blotched. the perspective and foreshortening used the the jaw, teeth and nasal cavity show depth and detail however the back half of the skull are where this perspective is lost
