The guys pretty much covered it with the first two. The girl in the sailor hat is wonderfully done, but seems to have lost her emotion from the pencil to the pen. Instead of lining all of her facial features, only do some of them… especially the lips. The first drawing made her look as if her top teeth were showing, which I…

That’s exactly why we’re all here… most of us have been there done that, realize just how difficult this industry can be, and despise the holier than thou art bullshit. We’re here for the art, and the education; and we don’t want to dish out our hard earned money or be someone’s bitch just to wish that some self proclaimed…

I honestly think this is a good start, but it looks a bit rushed. Take your time.

What can I say, I’m lazy :mrgreen:

I wouldn’t say that using an art program is lazy, it takes me just as long to render a drawing using a pen tablet and my painting program as it would using pencil and paper. For me it’s clutter, I omit the clutter of pens and colored pencils and as you stated I can change colors positions and…[Read more]

Spider, how helpful has the graphic design education been toward actually tattooing?

Having an art background is a major plus IMO in tattooing. My other artist is currently working on his BA in fine arts. From my perspective classes like perspective, digital photography, even art history and color theory has a place in inking.…[Read more]
