Looks good! what did you use for shading???

[TexasPT]

looks like a solid first effort.

If you have the whole prizm kit use the regular black for lining rather than the tribal. It is a thinner mix and goes in smoother. The tribal black is meant for solid fills. I’ve actually thinned it a bit with witch hazel to line…just seems to go in better for me.

I whipped up a one drop wash , and used a 7fs. I’ve since added a little more shading and a banner to the piece. Will take another picture and post tonight.

I will try that on my next one, makes since. My other blank leg has been staring at me the last couple days. Lol. Thanks for the advice. Are the prizm inks worth messing with? Will they hold up in the skin?

[TexasPT]

anything put in correctly will hold up.

I bought the entire prism set, and I love it. The problem with prizm, is they don’t POP like eternal or Intenze. the color is good but it is a bit flat, or almost pastelish, in comparison. I would say go ahead and spend another $50 and get the eternal or intenze. If you look at the stuff I have posted here, it’s all prizm. Now I line with Kuro Sumi and have Eternals in my sights for my next ink.

Here it is after healed. And with more shading, and goofed around with a little blue in the feathers .also added the banner with my grandmothers name who passed away a few years back.
