The simplest way to draw the #cranial_nerves. Let us know what you think!

What are the cranial nerves? The cranial nerves are a 12 nerves which originate from the brain or upper spinal cord each with a distinct set of functions. I've made the cranial nerves simple, simplifying them so you don't have to struggle making sense of them.

The cranial nerves provide us with sight, sound, taste, smell and much more. 

We’ll be drawing them from the brainstem outwards. In this video, we'll just focus on their location within the brainstem, and the foramen in the skull they pass through.
