People say to draw skulls so I can understand heads better but when I do draw them, I only get more confused. I don't understand the point of it, simply because I can draw alright heads now, I can do faces too.

What's the point of drawing skulls if I can memorize asaro heads, know all the major landmarks and proportions, can construct heads in perspective from boxes and so on... what is the fucking point? Seriously, skulls are complex and don't bring anything to the table if you already can draw heads and if you really need to draw skulls, you can always look for references, it makes even more sense because you won't retain info on skulls unless you grind them mindlessly for years.

Or to put it another way, the knowledge of a skull can make heads slightly more believable, I get it, but you have to draw a very complex subject, draw it a lot just so you can make a slightly better head. It's not worth it.
