having all those read outs on your power just make it slightly easier to tune
but even then its iffy you need to ignore your read outs for the most part and go by sound
the only things id say are important would your Hz and duty
my HP-2 is a digital read out and has all the information displayed on the screen

as far as your TTS quad Rob i looked…[Read more]

for the hourglass i dont remember what i had used back in 2011 but the new shading and such was done with Kuro Sumi, and a 13M1

the yoshi was a 5RL 7RL 13M1

Alla Prima green, brown, red, golden yellow, white
Radian yellow

I was originally going to do that but then you wou ldnt be able to see that part of the jaw so i figured it would take away some of the depth

looks good bro
outline is pretty solid
blossoms lookin good :)
what you should try next time is make a grey wash either premade in bottles or in your ink cups
use a medium to soft grey shading, and colour OVER TOP of the shade
this is called top shading
you will see the black through the pigment of the green and it will give the effect of having a…[Read more]

you can even get some cheap machines/frames that have nice frames and just add your own personal flare/parts

So my gf picked me up some Witch Hazel, and some Bactine from Shoppers Drug Mart today. I put 2 cap fulls of each into my wash bottle. I then finished a tattoo I had started on my gf some time ago. Normally she has very bad swelling issues when she gets tattooed. A lot of her more recent tattoos have been very red, swollen, and painful for her.…[Read more]

Looks good dude. What I do is I buy bottles, and 12oz bottle of Kuro. Fill th ebottles at different highs. 3/4 1/2 1/4 1/10 full of Kuro, then add Distilled water. That’s how I do my grey washes. Then you just label them with masking tape, and a sharpie.

For your rinse bottles, and such you can wrap them in Saran wrap. That’s what I do. also be…[Read more]
