To me a sugar skull is some thing people of Latino or any kind (or Spanish decent) make in remembrance of their past family or friends. When you first told the class we here making sugar skulls I thought it was some you ate. When I googled it I found it not be that. As I was going thought the images I found the ones that are famine with the hair and lips to be really pretty so I based it off of that.

The way I draw my sugar skull I really wanted it to come out that way. But as I was painting I thought that it didn't have to be my past vision so I just started painting and hoped for the best. I really felt like I had to have bright red lips, and the first thing you saw when you looked and mine was the eyes. I felt like I put that in the skull well. in the end I'm very happy with what came out of this.    

(note: I'm very sorry for the way the picture turned out)
