WoW, when i saw this, i knew thursday nightS no need to sleep liao @@ sien sien sien SIEN SIEN SIEN sOs sOs.

Anyway i've decided to draw the building composition of ISE SHRINE, a famous shrine in japan,
built to worship the goddess Amaterasu. I choose it cause of the unique shape of its roof, resembles a samurai's helmet, kinda cool. Actually i wanted to draw Milan Cathedral, but my lectural told me to forget it, cause i will start cursing myself if i choose it, lol.

So here are some pictures of ISE shrine :)
