From this entry.
Took a little while without the tablet. New one should be here in a few days.

does anyone have ref of a deer skull from the front? I had to guess going off of skulls in profile and it was very difficult...

You certainly do great things with perspective!
Love this, as always. <3

I do not have any pictures of deer skulls from the front on hand, but I do have a few deer skulls I can take photos of if you would like?

Thank you ocean...! And that

Thank you ocean...!
And that would be amazing, Baal. If you get the time. Especially if it has the lower jaw attached, I would love a few shots from directly in front, below, and behind. But don't worry too much about it.

I'm not sure if I have any

I'm not sure if I have any with the original bottom jaw anymore [they were all forest and roadside finds] but I may have a random jaw that I can place on one. I'll have to see if it fits. And it's no trouble at all! Smiling

If it's a hassle don't sweat

If it's a hassle don't sweat it. I live in an area where I am sure there are a few skulls around. Whether that's a good thing or not, haha.

You´re awesome, again. That perspective looks pretty much perfect, and pictures the fawn´s feelings so well. And I just love the composition of antlers and branches... <3<3<3

I have a ton of deer skulls, I can take lots of photos for you today. (:
It would probably be helpful to a lot of people on here for drawing.

I think you did a good job, for not having a straight-on reference. (:
I see a few things that are off, but you will be much better after you see the photos I'm sure!

I unfortunately could not

I unfortunately could not find a bottom jaw, but I do have multiple pictures of the main skull from many different angles including those you needed. If you want I can send you a compressed file of them through e-mail?

You honor me greatly,

You honor me greatly, Narina.

@spyrre- Thank you. I want to play with this idea more. Antlers and branches have always looked really similar to me. I'm happy if I captured that even a little.

@Doe- it would be a big help, if it isn't a bother. It's so hard to find reference of a complete skull. I'm sure it would help a lot of people.

@konoha- thank you for always leaving such kind comments. I will keep trying.

@baal- yes please, that's great.
Thanks for taking the trouble.

Thanks Janet. I wonder what

Thanks Janet.
I wonder what about, Kitty. I'm glad.

Thank you so much Baal. I also live in the forest but I suppose I do not go out walking the wilder parts enough to find anything. I appreciate your help.

More than welcome and

More than welcome and anytime! I had a pretty alone childhood so I spent most of it deep in the swamp and forest around my home. Led me to know most all of the old trails, ponds, meadows and such. So I'm pretty prone to wander miles out into nowhere. XD Finds lots of interesting things out there. Smiling

Sounds like an excellent habit.
I didn't live out here until a few years back so I was pretty well used to living through paper and ink. It's gone digital these days but I'd like to spend more time out in the beauty and the untouched.
