Ghost in the shell wall painting

A "Quck" little update on a project I'm working on (you know, besides varsity, gaming and the 300+ other projects I never finish xD)

In my room I have this "massive" bare white wall, and for a while I've always wanted to do something on it. However it seems that I have commitment issues or something, because I could never decide on something that I would like to keep there.

So I started with the layout of the canvases (because a large one is expensive...and I had these lying around)

Used a light blue clutch...this means that trying to get a picture of the sketch visible...kinda hard
Next step would be to start the colouring (painting) in. Stay tuned for updates on those.
