Haha any critique is helpful. Appreciate it though, and the hat was really hard to get the patterns right. I try to get every detail I see. From the light shadows to the dark and the wrinkles in the face. It’s tough I’m not going to lie. My biggest problem I have is with hair. :? Lmao

It’s tough though using a mechanical pencil for the whole…[Read more]

Just going to start posting pictures on this tread.

A portrait drawing of my uncle. Still a novice at it but this is what I would like to specialize in, photo realism.

Point proven haha. But I usually do a number or letter at a time then wipe to see where I’m at. And I try to avoid blobs of ink from piling up.

There is some parts of this tattoo that I do not like and I could have done better but it’s just trial and error. But overall I’m satisfied with it. Could have been worse, that’s what I usually think about. ;)

Much appreciated Infamous and Lennart. definitely got to work on things and I will work on my lighting. :D As of the numbers in the crown, I freestyled that but it could also use a little work on the alignment.

I really tried to take my time with this tattoo, didn’t want to rush anything and it came out better then I expected. ;) oh, and it…[Read more]

Appreciate it guys! I’ve been trying to step my game up and for this piece I used witch hazel instead of that kokkai brand! :) helped out a lot. Lol but I was gonna ask you guys if there is any part of this tattoo that i could have been done better. Any critique is helpful. Thanks again!

Maybe your right. Ima have to invest in some witch hazel. I figured there was something sketchy about that ink. Got it from eBay. Learn from my mistakes.

You wouldn’t happen to know a couple legit sites I could get some tattoo stuff from?
I know of some like superiortattoo and worldwidetattoo but they are usually limited on supplies.

I’m also…[Read more]

I actually did this not to long ago. About a week. I just didn’t darken the inside enough. Or maybe he was using to much ointment or out in the sun to make it fade like that.
I bought the light, medium, dark kokkai sumi ink. But I also use kuro sumi ink for outlining. Works wonders.

Much appreciated for the advice.

I didn’t.

I used kokkai sumi ink. Yeah the inside of the 80 is faded. But what ink would you prefer for shading?

Looks solid. nice work.

That portrait of the kid is amazing. Also the skull one is legit. I like the depth feeling it has to it. :D

thanks! :D

yeah i figured I get into painting. It will help me learn blending with colors and will benefit me in the future.

Nice work bro!

What kind of ink did u use and what needle size? Here soon im going to buy color ink and need to find out some good brands out there. I heard intenze is pretty decent, along with starbrite ink. but i will look more into it.

Thx for the input, I will try out some different inks, i recently got kokkai sumi ink light, medium and dark grey wash. i will practice my shading techniques on pig skin and my own skin. I had bought a tattoo kit online and it pretty much came with everything except color ink, just the kuro sumi. i also got a Superior Viper from superiortattoo, I…[Read more]

I wouldn’t use a 1rl for big outlining peaces. Mainly they are used for fine detail, single needle will really slice the skin when running a long line like that.. And also with…
