Draw a Skull: White on Black Paper

What happens when you flip shading upside down? In this 30-minute class, we'll draw a skull with a white China pencil on black paper. Instead of adding shadows, you'll build up the light and let the paper do the work for your darkest darks.

We'll map out the skull's structure, simplify it into light, middle and dark values, then build the form with pressure and layering. You'll walk away with a dramatic drawing fit for Halloween and a better eye for values in all your work.
