It's probably only half there, so it's hard to ID. Googling "gulf coast skulls" doesn't turn up anything but the crucifix fish, which is cool, but not what this is. Rita, if my skeleton started moving, I'd stuff him in my closet and throw away the key. And about the detail - sometimes it's just soothing to draw what you see down to the tiniest detail. John - coat hangers - brilliant! I'm going to do that next Halloween with Shorty. And 300 kids?!? Yikes! You must have had to but out a Walmart to get enough candy. ;D Angela, thanks!

I used to have a full size skeleton then I used it two years ago in my halloween display and someone needed it worse than I did......oh well, I used to use old wire coat hangers and pose mine so I could get it to hold a pose. Man this year we had over 300 people and kids knock at our door for trick or treat. I think next year I'm going to start charging admission to my home hahahahahaha (maybe I can buy a new skeleton?) Happy halloween to you to Meg,

You've really got every little detail in there, thank goodness skeletons aren't fidgety models, eh? If Casey happens to pop back in I'd like to second the vote for seeing a sketch of a deer skull! :D This is a great sketch and it’s so true that you can see so much more drawing from life than a photo, isn’t it?

I'd love to see you do one, deer or otherwise. They’re fun to do, aren’t they? I’d love to see you do one, deer or otherwise.

I was just about to do one of these skull "cast" drawings, too. You beat me to it, and it's a good one. Will it be different enough if I use a deer skull instead? Darn!
