Japanese Masks September 15th - 21st

Day 258. Japanese Noh mask with chrysanthemum tattoo design. The sketch is looking a little bit grubby as I shaded with a very soft pencil and as the days go by the sketches I've used a soft pencil on tend to get a bit smudged up.


Day 259. Hannya mask design.


Day 260. Japanese Noh theatre mask.


Day 261. Hannya with peonies and wave tattoo design.


Day 262. Hannya mask tattoo design.


Day 263. Japanese Noh mask tattoo design with wind and cherry blossom background.


Day 264. Hannya with flames. A very poor effort here I must admit but its still a sketch.

September - JAPANESE MASKS

Septembers theme is going to be Japanese Masks, I would imagine is is going to mainly consist of Hannya Masks but I hope to throw in a few other Noh masks along the way.

Also I have been putting up the sketches in progress on Vine, just search on vine for Ginny Tattoos or the hashtag #sketchaday.

Heres to Septembers sketches.
