Description: This next piece of concept art was a complete surprise to me when I was finished with the lineart. I say this because at first there was no rose in the skull head mouth. Instead there was a nest. There was no smokey glow being omitted from the eyes, instead they were just eyeballs that seemed as though they were going to bulge out of the sockets.Instead, I began to start drawing with an inner inspiration coming from Edgar Allen Poe. The poem 'Raven' imparticulary was the one verbal piece that lead me to create this lesson on how to draw a raven, skull and rose, step by step. I love, love, love the way that this tutorial or art piece came out. All the way down to the raven and leaves on the rose. I will label this lesson as advanced because there are lots of aspects to this piece that needs to be handled in a calm, non-rushing manner. So go ahead and tackle this lesson on drawing a raven, skull and rose. I will be back again with more tutorial fun for all to see and learn from.
