If you’re struggling to draw a circle, use a compass or trace a round object that’s as large as you want the skull to be.

Make the vertical line extend below the circle so you can use it to draw the jaw.

Leave a space that’s 1/5 the width of the circle between the hexagons.

The nose cavity is diamond-shaped near the bottom, but boxier near the top.

Repeat this on the opposite side so it connects with the line you just drew. Draw the horizontal line of the middle of the skull so it’s about twice the width of the nose cavity.

Draw the teeth as rounded or square as you like. Consider using a reference photo to help you draw anatomically since people’s teeth are quite unique. If you want the skull to be missing a few teeth, leave some of them out as you draw.

Make both of the straight lines at an angle the same length as the horizontal line in the center of the jaw.

To give the skull some perspective, you can draw a small gap at each end of the line of teeth. This shows space between the skull and the jaw.

If you want the cavities to be smooth, go back with a blending stump to rub the graphite. To make the teeth stand out, go over the lines between the teeth and the skull and jaw again.

Take care to not erase the actual drawing when you’re removing the guidelines.

Draw lightly so you can erase the guidelines later.

Make the outline of the jaw stop at the smaller concentric circle where it meets the vertical guideline.

The top bump is the brow before it reconnects to the skull.

This creates the bottom of the skull itself.

Instead of using a large eraser, try working with the eraser on the end of a pencil.

Make the jaw look distinctive by shading the top of it where it meets the bottom of the skull.
