Project 003 - Roberts Raven Skull

I wanted to create this raven atop a skull portrait. I didn't know what style if skull I wanted or what raven would look good. The composition here is mainly indicating that two different views from the same point is possible. You can stand looking forward, anticipating what life can bring you, or you can look behind you and try to figure out what went wrong. Either way I really hope Robert likes the outcome on this piece. I'll be doing it on canvas with charcoal. 18x24.
