I am thoroughly impressed! Excellent work on the foreshortening with Ozzy. Great designs and great execution!

Looking good angie! Can’t wait to see it all done!

Fickle hell… she’s just a bitch :D

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 tattoo god will teach…[Read more]

The hot dog aside, your line work is ok but it looks like you have the same problem I do. You start out good in small sections, then get so far and realize your wrist doesn’t flex that far… that’s when it gets a little raggedy in some spots. It also happens when you move against your natural wrist movement (this link helped me figure that out…[Read more]

I totally love those types of drawings! I really want to try & tackle one. Great job on the pencil Len!

:shock: …I think I just drooled a little. I wish more shops embraced the same thought process as you do… clear, practical, and critical. I’d saw my left leg off with unwaxed dental floss for this kind of opportunity. Someday my skills will improve, and when they do I sincerely hope that I can find an offer like yours. Good luck in your search!

Thanks guys. That was kinda my plan when I decided to start these lessons. I want to do everything in as many different mediums and styles as possible. I can draw what I see, but when it comes to picking stuff out of my head, I feel like my creativity ship has sailed. So I try to keep challenging myself.

Infamous, I think getting used to Adobe’s…[Read more]

I know right? I love the perspective and the look of the wood grain. She did an amazing job with it.

Agreed Jess. My first semester drawing class, we had to draw eggs for homework. It usually took me about 3-5 hours, depending on how many eggs we had to draw. :? I didn’t want to look at another egg until the next semester lol.

I honestly think this is a good start, but it looks a bit rushed. Take your time. Lay out your idea lightly, then figure out where your light source is coming from… like clock positioning (1:00, 10:00, etc.) There are 6 basic types of light: highlight: the brightest part where the light hits the object(s) directly; light (or halftone): the…[Read more]

I feel that these are more of a starting point for the eager readers to get a general idea of just how important researching, knowing, & following health codes actually is. I think it’s fair to say that it should be up to them to check with their health departments to make sure that what they’ve read is up to date. Also, it always helps to get to…[Read more]

I don’t think it’s too much Spider. I’ve been trying to post as many as I can find (for example, Georgia’s post has one for Camden county and Northern GA). And I’ve found a few more for Florida that I need to post. The more specific, the better. If anyone finds anything for a state that I’ve already posted, feel free to pm me the link & I’ll…[Read more]

Thanks, but I can’t help myself sometimes…
