On one of my many visits to the Met Museum in NYC, I spent a great deal of time studying this samurai kabuto helmut with a menpo mask.

In my original drawing I wanted to create all the the detail and craftsmanship that went into the helmet and mask itself. I used heavy graphite to show the detail as well as getting the menpo mask sheen.
