"Now we're going to finish the outline of the skull. So I'm just taking my medium size brush and going in a circle around the outside of the skull. Don't worry if it's perfect. Just go with it. With paint brushes it's always hard to have a perfect line. A lot of people get discouraged because their line isn't perfect, but don't even worry about it. So here I am outlining the bones. There we go. That's the basic outline so now we need some big eye caverns and I just draw them like huge circles. Just try to get them somewhat the same size. Now for the nose just draw two small triangles right next to each other and that is the nose cavern, and then for the mouth. Real simple, quick and easy. I like it this way. Draw a line across and then just hatchet it just to create an old piraty kind of skull, but it's still really cartoony and it works."
