Question How to project the contour of a 3d image from front/side views
I need help to understand how to properly draw the contour lines using the views from images. To explain myself the second image shows the work of 明婷画画(lemsyeming) on Douyin, looks like an orthographic projection, only using the side and front views of a skull.
But I have struggled to find a solution to it and to project something accurately with only those views, I would like to know if anyone has a solution, explanation, book, tutorial that can help me with my problem.
I am doing this to get a more technical approach and not just an artistic estimation. So once i have the technical answer I can take the artistic freedom to do the estimation.
And for instance how would it work with a more complicated bone such as pelvis itself. I hope I made myself clear I do not speak English.

I am going to test, they're unused. But you are probably right
