- On this drawing,
I've purposely left out these openings where the eye is.
This is behind the snout, here's the nostril here.
This is the area behind the eye
where the jaw muscles would attach
and go into the lower jaw,
and neck muscles would come this way.
So I purposely left those
so I could add reference marks here.
I just want to kinda roughly carve out
where that eye socket is.
This is just, you don't really see this,
this will be covered with muscle and tissue.
This is the part behind the nostrils
where also jaw muscles would attach,
the muscles that control the breathing,
the opening and closing of the nostrils.
The nostrils will be right there.
And then I'll turn that around
and do those same reference points on the other side.
And I want to make sure from the top
that it roughly matches the same marks I put on this side.
You don't want one to be back and one to be forward.
These are just basically reference points for right now.
The eye will not be that far in,
you know, the skull's gonna be widening.
Okay.
- [Student] Can I snag that to do the same?
- [Instructor] Yeah.
Now, on the skull, it's a little confusing.
This is like, the first vertebrae would attach right here.
This plate behind these horns,
this is where the muscles from the neck would attach,
and also here on the sides.
So you've got neck here and here.
So we want to outline the back of the skull,
so the back of the skull would kinda
come from the bottom of that horn to about here,
there's a little point here,
and then dip down to the attachment with the lower jaw, so.
We can just rough that in, knowing where the eye is.
Horn's about right, the back of the horn is about even
with the back of the eye socket,
it's a little bit farther back.
And this will come down to a point like that,
and then this way, up in.
And then drop down
to the
back of the jaw.
Actually, it'll be more like right here.
Again, this is all rough.
And then the lower jaw sticks out a little past that,
and comes down that way.
So we're gonna rough this in now.
I just wanna add, but make sure when you add,
you're adding the same on the other side.
I already added a little bit here on this top.
Yeah, you can see a little bump here.
I'm gonna add the same thing here.
We know that that point of that skull is right there.
We'll lose our eye socket, but that's okay.
We know it's still right there.
Now the top of the head, you'll notice,
is narrower,
and then it widens out at the bottom for the teeth.
So this would be the top
of the snout area, it's narrower.
There's the two nostrils, these are these two openings here.
And then the lower area where the jaw is here,
is wider when you're looking from the top view.
So let's widen that out a little bit.
Sorry, my head's in the way there.
There's no really any rhyme or reason where to start.
You know, sometimes I just like, I see something
and I work on that.
But what I try to do is if I do one side,
I try to do the same thing on the other side,
just because you want things to be in balance
and not lopsided.
Because if you get too far on one area on one side,
and then you go to the other side and go,
Oh, how did I start that, what did I do?
You know.
So, I've added a little on this side of the lower jaw,
and we add a little more here.
Okay, so I've roughed that out on that side.
Now I'm gonna get some softer clay
and do the same thing on the other side.
Ow. Ow, see what I'm talking about
- [Student] (laughs) Yep.
- The part that's closest to the light bulb gets pretty hot.
All right, I don't know if you can see this from the front.
I've kinda just roughed in just the side here.
Don't worry about, don't look in here yet, the inside.
Just, we'll just concentrate on the outside right now.
