Here is the corrected one. Its the same chair, I just fixed the mistake I had made on it. Did you see the difference?

I am in downtown Ottawa. I am looking for a tattoo artist that I can consult with on my next ideas (I want to get tattooed) after this baby is born….. I found a studio in the Glebe that is brand new and the artists are good. … but I want to also get more familiar with the studio – I am almost new in the city and my time has been spent on kids…[Read more]

This has become the funniest string of replies so far. Hahaha

When I bought the book, I didn’t realize it came with this forum! So I got lucky. I am also realizing that the 4 years I have left here in Canada – my third baby (will be born in 4 months) will be old enough I will have the time available to get a “job” or even attempt to get an…[Read more]

She loves to draw and loves to grab my things to draw with! She is only 19 months old and she will bring me her “drawings” and say, “Niice!!” with a big smile. I really can’t be upset with her at all.

I got frustrated at the sky and the lake. I know that the coloring is off and I know I can fix it but at the time that I was working on it I had already burned myself out a bit (been working all day everyday for 4 days before this)…. so maybe I will go back …. maybe not.

Thank You so much!! I really love the Henna designs and details. I am terrible at simplicity.

LMAO :lol: THank You!!! Yes, its me …. i was worried for a sec.

That is a fantastic piece. Charcoal is a great medium to sketch with, I really miss it.

Awesome awesome, and I’d love to see more.

I really enjoyed looking at your work. Your pencil drawings of the women are fantastic, how long did those take and did you use a guide ? (photo or real life?) …. I’m curious, your flash drawings are not at the same level (perhaps just not as much time on them)? You are an excellent artist, I would love to see you apply that realism in some color.

why????

Your comment is great!! Glad that you are enjoying the forum. I like it myself, quite a bit. ;-)

Thank You!! Lesson Two here I come.

The marker rose, it looks like a feature in photoshop, when you artistic/metallic the whole part. And no, not saying its a photoshop picture ;) I can see its made by hand
All in all, awesome work Dudette :P

I am going to take the Photoshop comment as a compliment at…[Read more]

Ok so here is #4 – I feel like I learned a little …. ha!

On this one (first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee vs the #3 which was late at night after the kids finally fell asleep) … I used only my ink pen. I wanted to work on line and only line. I didn’t touch a single marker (hating them right now, color liars!) and I wanted it to be…[Read more]

This is all really great advice. I’m tackling this like I would a college class, only from the educators. So YouTube didn’t even cross my mind. Neither did ebay or Amazon, lol. That is why I bought this Fundamentals book and joined this forum. When my brother gave me this last tattoo I was sitting there for two hours asking question after…[Read more]

Shoot, this graphic one reminds me of a 1970’s school book cover. …… the coloring is NOT what I expected …. sometimes markers just don’t pull it off which is why I’ve been sticking to pencil.

I was hoping to do something more graphic … and so I used a new marker I bought. Well, the colors were not what I thought (the pen cap is deceiving) and I know that I should have stopped at an earlier point. (I wish the grey didn’t look like black)… anyway … sorry about the blue leaves.

Hey great thanks!! I looked at the site and read about the kits you listed. I think I know what I’m going to do now. When you said pricey I was expecting a lot more than I saw, so that was a relief.

That supply page is being book marked for now – so I can find it easy again. haa!

You’re awesome. Thanks again.

hahaha no worries. I grew up hearing dude all of the time, regardless of gender. ;-) I was excited to do more roses, here is my second. A sort of “second chance” to show my black and white.

I’m pondering #3 and #4…. :-) This is fun.

This is so far the best reply I’ve had on this forum yet. Thank you so much! I have the book Basic Fundamentals Of Modern Tattoo by C.R. Jordan, just not the equipment. I hope to get equipment good for learning basics on and the DVD from him as well. I understand the tweaking thing – but I need my starting point.

This is getting me all excited.…[Read more]
