HARDY YOUTH VOL. 2 - CATALOG Blue great little book with ukiyo-eHARDY YOUTH RAW DRAWINGS The 2nd edition of the hardy youth project is a homage to the well known color study by ED HARDY. When he established the idea of a custom tailored tattoo, he changed the industry forever. The raw color study drawing has become its own thing and combines the dynamic of a sketch with the full color of a flash painting. It helped the customer to visualize his tattoo and the tattooer to work out the coloring shading in advance.
