Description: I know Christmas is in two days but I just had to draw and submit a new skull design because it has been so long since I made one. It's not often that I draw skulls from a side view, so when I started this sketch I was unsure of how it would come out. I was surprised to see that the rough sketch of the initial skull design came out looking pretty sweet. When I began drawing the lining for the skull it started coming out so epic and the end results is what you see here now. I really did have a lot of fun creating a new skull concept and as of right now I feel that this is one of my favorite skull designs. When I began the sketch I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to be too hard for others to replicate so I tried to keep the design as simple as possible. There really isn’t going to be that many complex parts to tackle when drawing a skull and roses, and the best advice I can give is that you take your time as you tackle this skull. This is also an awesome tattoo design that make great addition to your body art if you're into skulls and roses. I know you guys will have fun, and remember to keep those requests coming in because a lot of my ideas for tutorials come from members like you. Thanks guys and be sure to rate, comment, and fav. Adios people and happy holidays.
