I drew this skull using TypeDrawing. It's a type illustration app that uses fonts and your own text to draw pictures. I went simple with this picture, using only black and white and the word 'skully' in Helvetica Bold to sketch it out but sometimes simple is best! The app also has a neat playback feature so you can watch the process of your artwork being drawn in front of you when you're finished.
The app is set by default to vary the size of the text by the speed with which you draw (although you can switch that off) and you can also set it to use a random typeface. It seems odd, perhaps, to draw using words but the effect can be very nice.
Be sure to click this one to see it much larger!
