Mongoose & Cobra Skeletons Study

Ink painting of a couple of mongoose & cobra skeletons. A study of animal anatomy, composition, and contrast inspired by Renaissance drawings, demonstration of a time where art and science were seen as one.

This piece is part of my 30 paintings study done in 2018 to improve my anatomy drawings and to research composition.

Original done with fountain pen, Sumi ink on Arches paper, scanned & cleaned with Photoshop (7800 x 10800 px, 300 ppi).
