Old, Old (nay ancient) Skull drawing

A positively ancient drawing circa 1990. This was drawn from life on A3 paper (hence the horrible scan) and mounted really badly (hence the awful wrinkles). The main intent was to investigate the structures in the cavities and to determine the proportions. With hindsight I should have ditched the Dutch  Angle and drawn the lower jaw and the top of the skull to give a better sense of the proportions.

Wise Words from Caro

 I heard a rather pertinent sentence tonight. This came from the sculptor Anthony Caro.

Caro's gallery

                     "Sculpture is food for the eyes, food for the soul."

The beauty of these words lies in the fact they can apply to all the visual arts, and, I feel that they hold particular relevance to the work that digital artists are producing today.
