Step 1

Initial head and neck anatomy concept sketch is created

Step 2

Once the concept sketch is approved, we move on to tightening the linework and adding in all the anatomy

Step 3

We further refine the anatomy before mapping out all of the cranial nerves

Step 4

We can now begin the rendering process and add colour to the musculature, skeletal and nervous system

Step 5

As we render the anatomy we can also colourize the skin
