Working on Practice Skins…..

[muddo]

Hey whats up every1..??? Does any1 else have the problem when working on practice skin( the rubber kind ) even though i would love to have a pig running around full of my ink to practice on…. but I’m getting off topic… when I start shading or putting color in my tattoos on the practice skins, it tends to look blochy (if thats how its spelled)… what i mean is it doesnt have even tones of gradients… Is it just me and my lack of skills or have u guys expirienced this problem too..???

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the practice skins so far. I’m using them only for line work practice. Also been practicing on honeydew melons.

Get rid of practice skin :D
I hate practice skin.

Pig skin is just a tiny bit better, but you will have problems cleaning it for shure. But they are much better to learn how to shade and color.

If i where you, and if you dont want to Tat yourself, i would go for lemons, pig skin to practice shading and coloring, and practice skin to practice lines.

Keep it up, and keep us posted.
