Here’s one of the life drawings I did last night. It was a 15 minute pose and there was a lot of tension in the body which was quite difficult to draw. I’ll definitely work on it some more; it has potential. I was pootling about on Facebook earlier and came across this example of a child’s skull, showing all the teeth – the visible milk teeth and all the ‘teeth-in-waiting’ – absolutely gruesome. No wonder they have such enormous heads! That’s why they’re so difficult to draw. It’s hideous and fascinating at the same time but I won’t be able to look children in the face and go ‘aaaahhhh’ any more because now I know they’re a cross between Alien and Predator under that cute little visage!
It comes from an interesting science oddity site.
I might draw this. It would look good on a T shirt.
scribblah 
Those teeth!
oh yes, very scary!
You can really feel the tension across the models shoulders..
As for the skull.. fascinating but sad too.
I study a lot of anatomy texts and it’s hard not to think of the circumstances of the people I’m studying. Very sad, especially when it’s children.
Oh my word!!! I never thought all the teeth would be ready in the gums like that! Sad the child died but it’s brilliant to be able to see this. Good find!
It’s amazing how nature works. It’s sad though, like you said, that our knowledge is enhanced because of other’s misfortune.
Wow! Beauty is only skin deep and here is the evidence!
That’s why the little ‘uns have such enormous weird heads lol
That picture is going to haunt me!
The skull, not your drawing which is excellent as ever 🙂
It’s horrible isn’t it? Fascinating though 🙂
