1.With about 40 Psi, do a light mist of over reduced Createx Black and Fantastik on your template then remove the template.
2.Lightly mist over the areas which will be the darkest as well as a foggy outling around your skull.
3.Start to blacken the teeth, eyes, and nose area. Add a light shadow to temporal lobe(sides of forhead) and brow area for depth.
4.Lower your Psi to about 30 and bring brush closer to the graphic. Start going over the previously painted areas and add more detail.
5.Go over the dominant lines of the skull to "connect" all open lines. Continue to add detail.
6.Once detailing is done, and dark areas are darkened, start adding a core shadow to the sides to sugggest a frontal/top light source.
7.Add an over reduced Brown to the shadowed areas. Keep note that you will leave the white areas alone to suggest "highlights".
8.Go one last time around certain areas with overreduced Black as a final touch. Add a drop shadow behind the skull for a 3d effect.
Voila! One coool lookin' skull.
