EXILL - Nov 10

EXILL assignment #2, design 4 final drawings based on an icon of your choice.

I thought it was a good idea to choose a hannya (as I tried hitting two birds with one stone because my next planned tattoo is a hannya and I've never actually grown the motivation to just draw the damn thing out) but 30 drawings later I regretted it and slowly started going insane.
