Description: This tribal skull design is a revamped drawing that was originally submitted by Medxx. She did an awesome job recreating a reference picture she found online but I thought I would draw something better that you can all enjoy with a cutting edge. When draw skulls in a tribal art pattern you have to make sure that you create something that is going to be original, and captivating. Unfortunately the image that medxx used as a reference wasn't too captivating, it was sort of plain and tribal lines weren’t drawn in a unique manner. As for this tribal skull I so believe that you will enjoy learning how to make an awesome piece of art that would not only look good on paper, but it would also make a killer tattoo as well. I have submitted plenty of skull designs on Dragoart, but I do have to say that this drawing is one of my favorite. If you love drawing skulls with tribal markings, than you will really have a blast with this lesson. Enjoy everyone and be sure to check out more of the skull art and tutorials posted on the site.
