Unknown Skull


I spent yesterday working for Ted Prescott who is a sculpturist and a newly retired professor from Messiah College (I was lucky enough to be in several of his classes). He gave me a skull from a trip of his that he took to a ranch in Nevada. We were not sure of the animal but Mr. Prescott thinks it might be a dog.

Alan E. Cober collected skulls and used drawings of them in his illustration work which makes me like them a bit more.

Wonderful craftsmanship here. The shadow is the icing on the cake! That's funny, 'cause I was actually thinking of drawing some animal skulls this week. Now I definitely am inspired.

Nice...we have a still-life set up with cow skulls and I have a bit of a collection of pig, possum, raccoon, deer, and other small skulls to draw...they are excellent life drawing items...the problem is students are usually using them and I never get a chance to...I'm putting that on my list for tomorrow...I wish I either could suspend time or never need to sleep...
