✍️ Realistic Skull Drawing: 1 Hour vs. 10 Hours! 💀

Does spending longer on a drawing necessarily make it the one you'd choose? Gaspi, the artist behind Artistomg, puts that question on paper with a skull divided down the middle.

In "✍️ Realistic Skull Drawing: 1 Hour vs. 10 Hours! 💀", the left half gets a one-hour timer. Black markers and shading pencils build the eye socket, teeth and surrounding shadows before the artist starts the longer session on the right. Close-ups show blending, detailed shading and white highlights, all without spoken commentary.

The Short drew roughly 300,000 views in its first day, about ten times Artistomg's usual start for the format. It's a distinctly different exercise from Gaspi's other recent experiments, which include turning a stained cat sketch into a realistic drawing and making Halloween decor with a painted neon effect.

The comparison doesn't produce a unanimous choice in the comments. One viewer prefers the shorter session's result; another picks the right side but raises a practical problem with judging either: the finished drawing disappears too quickly. The full reveal arrives around the thirty-three-second mark, so that viewer resorted to pausing to inspect Gaspi's work.

What viewers say

The right side looks better but they both look great.
Only thing i will complain about is the way you cut the end of the video off so fast that its hard to ever see the result before it's gone. You should leave some time on the end when you edit. I had to pause it right in time to actually see it.
