Very good information

Well you should try to build up composition with oldschool ones, the too minimalistic ones are the ones you need to keep yourself, because they show no artistic value if you post them here, they are rather importance of basic fundamental of showing ability to do simpler stuff also, in portfolio ofcourse. I’d like to see more full pagers like friday13 sketches, or some more built up composition of different elements, like snakes, roses, skull heads and stuff, in my honest opinion you’re not doing bad at all, but those are things i’m pointing out what come more useful for your artistic progress also.. i’m not anykind of good level artist in this manner, but i have seen a’lot and i have learned a’lot to have a valid opinion not just subjective, also try to use more firm outline for sketches what stands out more for the oldschool style tattoos, coloring either water color, filt pens or casual color pencils with little help of filt pens in darker shade areas, this works well by combining all them together if you are like me, with poor sketching equipment ;)!

limbs look great, scales are good, but little bit too few in some spots.. also lower right leg is too stretched and hidden behind left one, otherwise decent fairy dragon.. backround is missing imo

I personally like the friday 13th sketches, rest seems pretty much copied or not impressive because lack of your own touch in it.. keep up the work tho, dedication is the key, also biggest tip i can give to you is, observe styles more closely and try to turn it to your own, do not aim for perfect imitation or print steal to “learn”, learning comes when you actually can do it all by yourself and by your own imagination.

Thanks for feedbacks, i also showed some of them to very skilled graffiti 3d artist who is also one of best tattooers in Baltics and Scandinavia, he said i need a’lot of heavy work especially with perspective and lines, although those sketches seem normal, i feel i need to push much much harder :D

Yes, i casually always shade and color in circular motions, odd thing is, i feel like i’m tattooing when i’m doing this :D

Why Nicole you removed your pictures? I was curious to see also, what is going on here.. It’s very important in this business to stay persistent even with up’s and down’s, and emotional problems what occur sometimes and you just “quit” your passion is not a good sign, you need to work better on attitude, because you must consider this is very highly professional area of art, and attitude how you want to learn this, is very very important.

Thank you very much, i am mainly as individual very flexible and with big variety of knowledge in many subjects, and graffiti as a skill teached me a lot of important aspects, mainly lines and such, but i am also kind of person who has problems with decent patience, for example, i have problem drawing an important canvas or sketch longer than 5 hours, but i am working on my patience, because i realized how important it is :)

Thanks for the feedback, i will begin to make a decent portfolio, mainly skulls and smokish styles around it, also will include more japan styles with my own touch, i will probably try out also newschool

No feedback? A lot of stealers here?

Welcome to the forum :D

Hmm graffiti you say…? Well, thats actually not a bad thing, as Script, Writting and letters in tattoos are a holy grail. Those who can do free hand graffiti scripts are in high demand. Many, me including, steals scripts from fonts, and other internet computer related things.

So have to say, you have a decent background if ever you become a tattoo artist.

Well about pictures of graffiti… You can always use a picture uploader like tinypic.com or something like that.
Post some of your work under Original Flash… Would love to see what you can do. :D

Thanks :), yes i will post them all soon, i’m going to pick some of my great ones :)
