What kind of process do you use for liek drawing them?
Do you do the mapping out shapes of their skulls first?
(Trying to change up my art style and I've been trying to take tips from other artists and combine them to see if something comes out right by doing so)
ur wording isn't bad, dw! tbh i don't do much mapping, n how i draw them isn't much different than how i draw ppl in general, but i will explain my simplistic process for a general sans skull :3 (may or may not rb this with how i draw the body, we'll see)
(under read more bc it's kinda long)
so i start out with the classic circle and cross guidelines (determines the angle of the head n where the eyes, ears, nose n shit goes) (this is all the guidelines i rly need for the skull nowadays, but someone less experienced might want more detailed ones, which you should be able to find tutorials for head guides pretty easily.)

n then i add a lil sideways v for between the curve of the eyebrow and the cheek. right on the line across the face.
Tumblr media
and then i draw the rounded jaw which comes into a sorta half curl where the ear would be, and the top of the skull. (where exactly the curve of the skull connects on the jaw depends on the angle, but this is just generally)
Tumblr media
then i add the features. the eye sockets sit on the line across the face. the nose does not go in the middle unless it's a straight on shot.
Tumblr media
n one more thing i thought to mention: the brow bone area moving with the eyebrow.
Tumblr media
it may seem obvious but i feel like it's something ppl may not think about.
but ye, hope that helps. :3
