This afternoon we all had a session of drawing with Abi, who produced a large box from the Museum, full of small boxes, each containing a tiny bird's skull. Our task was to select a skull and draw it exhaustively, using as many different kinds of drawing tool and technique we could. There was also a single human skull, and a horses skull. I started out with a puffin skull, but the poor light (and my old eyes) made it very hard for me to see the detail. So I opted for the human skull (which wasn't complete - it had 'borrowed' a jaw-bone from elsewhere) and it also had a slice cut out of the eye-brow bone. However, I tried my best to draw it. I found it hard going, and I wasn't too happy with the results, some shown here:
Moral: I need to do lots more drawing, I don't find it easy, and practice would help a lot.
