how did you do that background? did you cut out your images and paste them onto paper with the background already on it?

if you want the gradients to be smoother, try wetting the paper first with water, then using whatever stain you want (weather it’s tea or coke, whatever).
when you pre-wet (moisten) the surface, your color will blend much smoother. -

i guess you could consider it a little bit old school. if you like this style, you should really check out “Classic Flash in 5 Bold Colors” by McCullouch.

sorry, this one is not so crafty :(
on a possitive note: it’s not horrible and could be made a lot better with some work.i think i would have done this one with a 7RL, maybe even an 8RL, then use the 5RL for a few small details. it’s way too obvious that you sculpted a lot of the lines and they just dont look uniform. maybe if you did a second…[Read more]

could just be the angle of the photo, but the grip looks a little out of proportion to me.

cjmahone66 replied to the topic Best fruit? in the forum Design Ideas / Technique 12 years, 4 months ago
i’ve used different ones.
bananas get chewed up similar to skin.
oranges have similar resistance to needle as skin.
i would try several different types of produce, each has it’s own characteristics.
when tattooing pigskin, the lining will often blowout a lot easier than human skin will, but shading takes pretty similar to human skin. -
