Hi Niima,

what means medical reference? X-ray, CT or something like that? Female or male? Age?

Thanks for reply,

Oh no, I use skull anatomy e-books, Use image of skulls from side, top, down and perspective view ... So I don't know gender or age!

But Heh,

looks still really really realistic. I came to that CT stuff because a friend told me lately something about 3D visualizing of blood flow thrue the heart - made from patient data... I'm not a medical ... but he is medical computer scientist.

I asked for sex and gender because I'm interested in the little diffences for my "anatomy reference samples". Of course there are many sketches in some tutorial books but I thought that if this is from real data it could be a proof.

Nevertheless, It looks great for me.

Niima nice skull so far, but I think it could use more volume at the back,
and your teeth go too far to the back.take a look at this picture...
a good friend lend me her medical-skull.
Give it a try with real clay, and the dvd mentioned above, its a really great experience , and the instructor Andrew Cawrse is one of the best sculptors I know, and he can also teach sculpting!
