Graphite. Before you begin, consider the following. Technique. Are you looking for a smooth finish? OR Are you wanting to leave some directional/contour lines?. This drawing has good, subtle directional line quality. The line quality is too flat and the values are too close.

This would be considered a gesture drawing. It is lacking in detail.
Contrast Use the full VALUE SCALE and more than one pencil.
This piece is lacking in VALUE, therefore the CONTRAST is too low making for a flat looking drawing
Implied lines The top of this skull exist because there is a shadow BEHIND and UNDER the skull
Snake? Draw what you see. Embellish only the values.
DETAIL DETAIL!! DETAIL!
