Sketchbook time!

This project is currently occupying my desk. It's a personal piece so I'm taking my time with it. 
I can't wait to finish! Ok, ok, here we go...

At first, It was a brain with a lonely butterfly, but I had lots and lots of butterflies in my mind.





                                                                
                                                                             Ideas flying

So I finally decided to make an explosion of ideas.





The lower part of the brain works as a refuge for the cocoons, this spot gives birth to ideas.
I've always thought the reason for the shape of the brain is because it has a huge caterpillar inside.
I know I'm crazy, but who can blame me? It's my imagination.












I brought these monarchs from my last trip to Michoacan. Note: I brought them with me, I didn't kill them.
Anyways, It's good reference.




I loved the texture of the butterfly wings, it would be great to incorporate them on the inside of the brain.

I want red to contrast the neutral tones of the brain.
There will be more colour coming your way soon!
