Description: Another tattoo tutorial for the books on the way and it will obviously be on another skull. I know that I already did a lesson on a snake skull, but to me that tutorial wasn’t your typical looking skull with a snake going through the cavity of the hollow head. So what I will be showing you today is a lesson on "how to draw a classic skull" step by step. This type of tattoo design is a classic style of skull and snake that has been around for years. Even back in the 40’s men were getting different styled tattoos that represented something to them in a spiritual way. A lot of people back in those days used to travel to places like Mexico to get a unique tattoo design because there was a lot more to choose from when it came to different types of art for the skin. I liked the way that this skull and snake came out because it truly represents that classic style of an old design that began long ago. Skulls and animal tattoo designs all stemmed from what you will be learning how to draw today. I got a bit exaggerated with the snakes teeth because I wanted the snake to look as mean and as poisonous as possible. I know you will have fun learning how to draw a classic skull step by step. I do have some more drawing lessons on the way, all you have to do to see them is wait a bit longer for my return. Peace out and happy drawing people.
