That time of year

We've been looking at skulls and muscles in my life drawing class as a way to better understand the underlying structures of the figures.

When we were asked to draw a skull for homework, I couldn't resist and drew a canine skull. I often wonder what's going on underneath my doggies' fuzzy black fur. There are days when it seems nothing is there at all, they are empty headed numbskulls. Or they are food obsessed. Or tennis ball addicted.

But no, I now understand they have skull bones. Hard as rocks. Empty headed beyond that, perhaps, but under the fur is a canine skull.
