Here are some of the multiple sources of reference and inspiration used to bring this idea to life. It’s taken me a long time to figure out how to start with an idea from my imagination then combine multiple types of reference (like inspiration from historical art, working from life and photo reference) to realize an idea in a way that I’m happy with. #paintingfromtheimagination #paintingfromlife #americanmuseumofnaturalhistory #nycart #nycartist #canadianart #canadianartist #narrativepainting #figurativepainting #animalpainting #animalart #surrealistart #skeleton #bigcat #leopard #anaconda #ayahuascaart #monkeys #mothernature #artistsofinstagram @beautifulbizarremagazine #fbf https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xpv20l7lT/?igshid=eyjehn168f3c

This being the last day of inktober, I am trying to get a few more sketches up. But will try to finish them in the next month as well. The last prompt is "mask". So here's a face, coz which face isn't a mask? Except perhaps that of the truly innocent young. This is again inspired by the wonderful work of Ramon Mascaros in the book "sketching from the imagination". #inktober #inktober2017 #ink #illustration #pencil #camlin #paintingfromtheimagination #ramonmascaros #face #portrait #drawing #drawingaday #sketchbook #sketch #traditionalart @inktober @jakeparker (at Himachal Pradesh)
