i know what I want to draw but need some help with it

I can draw pretty well but the problem with me is I can’t draw or paint what is in my head. I need to look at a picture to get it right. Anyway, I want to do this drawing where there is a girl looking into the mirror. You can’t really see her face because it’s from the back so therefore you can only see her hair. The mirror is one of those pretty antique mirrors. Her reflection is a skeleton. Or something else that symbolises death.
Now, how the hell can I get this on paper and what background can I have? It’s going to be a pencil drawing BTW.

Use reference, I cant stress that enough. No artist, except some of the autistic chaps, can produce exactly what they see in the mind eye, why do you think so many of them do drugs?

Any artist will tell you reference, reference, reference. There seems to be some stigma of shame attached to using references like photos and books but that notion is unfounded. The best way to learn is to draw from life. All the greats Da vinici, dali, picasso, etc. spent their lives learning from life in order to draw it.
