This will be carried out and explored through research and illustrative sketches, along with brief annotation and explainations that will make up a progress diary.

The mention of evil spirits got me thinking about how these monsters/spirits are portrayed. So I've looked at Chinese masks for inspiration on drawing and designing my own.
I consider Chinese opera masks the only definitive representation of their mask craft. These Rakshasas are decidely Hindu, just thought I'd point that out.
