This assignment is fun, the 3/4 view is a more relaxed view to draw.

| Off to a decent start, while Skulley II looks on... He seems fairly happy... |
I started by blocking in big shapes, then working my way smaller and smaller.
Then I bounced back and forth between details and large, general shapes.

| Laying in major shapes, and beginning to map shadow shapes. |
Then, as I mapped out the shadow shapes, I laid in light areas of tone to separate light from shadow.
In the end, I laid in many areas of different value, still being careful to avoid getting overly caught up in rendering.

| Mapping shadows and edges, filling in some tone. |
To finish off, I went back and revisited the linework with 2B and 4B, and strengthed the major overlapping lines.
At the very end I also knocked a couple dark areas back a bit - they were a touch too strong.

I'm fairly pleased with this exercise, and I know I will come back to it again - and again!
