Speed Drawing: Bongo Skull

Hello everyone, today´s time-lapse is a Bongo skull, one of my favourite animal skull to draw. As usual it was drawn with a fountain pen, and painted with Sumi ink. This is skull is part of a Animal Skulls and Skeletons series I developed to improve my anatomy drawing and research composition and contrast.

I tried to contrast the natural curves of the of skulls and skeletons with abstract geometric shapes in a appealing compositions.

Here is the time-lapse:
