You didn't know how to draw when you realized that you actually wanted to be a tattoo artist? That really inspire me, because I want to be a tattoo artist but I'm a beginner in drawing:(

I’ve got a video on my Chanel, a time lapse on detailing a realism eye. It helps you see how to build up shadows, details and highlights to make it look 3D I couldn’t draw but always wanted to be a tattoo artist and now I’m an apprentice doing what I want to do! Check out the video and let me know if it helps! 😁😁

A tip my art teacher gave me whenever I got aggravated at my artwork was to never throw it out or destroy it because in years to come you're going to wish you had it to compare it to newer work or rework it. Or you could always incorporate it into new pieces. It's still a concept that is extremely hard for me to grasp since I am so overly critical of my work, but it's great advice that everyone should hear at least once.

@PostPlagueProjects 5 жыл бұрын

This is so true. There's a project I did where I almost threw it out, but kept it in case I decided to finish it or make it better. (Sketched out but not really started) I finished it three weeks later, and it's one of the BEST pieces I've completed so far. 🖤

I NEEDED THIS. I love that you shared this fear. I've always been into drawing and painting though I fell out of it after high school. And after realizing that I don't want to pursue a career in Nursing, I quit my CNA job and picked my drawing back up. I have such high expectations for myself and when I get it down on paper, I'd just hate it and I'd feel like "oh god, I'm never going to be as good as so-and-so, I can't do this". But as I've been drawing everyday for a couple hours I can feel the pencil in my hand just flowing much more easily. So happy I found someone I can relate to!

There are elements of drawing in tattooing that even if u can't draw u still have to have a similar skill set. Like shading. Tattoo artistry combines quite a few skill sets to be honest.

@TheEydin98 3 жыл бұрын

@@dashagazo8508 Yeah. the tattoo artist i went to only uses his ipad and a software. He pretty much found everything on the internet and combined everything together how he wanted it to look like. Then he just printed it out and we started tattooing. I asked him if he was drawing anything and he said "No, actually nothing to be honest. I only use the ipad because it is just waay faster than drawing every idea for each costumer and if they do not like it then I have to redraw but I am not good at drawing to begin with also I am fully booked the next 4 months." The insane thing about this is that he has only been tattooing as a hobby for one and a half year and full time for six months. The tattoo I got came out great it is actually very superb, then he told me that I should start tattooing because the stuff I wanted in my tattoo is something rare but also popular. He even showed me what tattoo kit to buy and well well well I already ordered it heheh.

I had the exact same issue with my life drawing tutor at college when i did my foundation in art and design as well as doing my degree. She told me i was no good at drawing but when i asked her to demonstrate the certain techniques she was asking us to do she wouldn't ! Go figure. In the end i think it could have been more an issue with her teaching than a comment on my ability as i have heard the same stories from fellow artists. It still knocked my confidence though and totally put me off life drawing. All that said, i was 38 when i went back to college and had been a practicing artist for nearly 18 years at that point so i concentrated on the areas i enjoyed and learned a lot of new skills and put my big girl knickers on and put that negative experience behind me :) Love your videos and wish i had taken up the offer of the two apprenticeships i have been offered in the past!! xx

lesley ramirez not a tattoo artist, but I've listened to a lot of consultations. It depends on the design I'd say. With realism few artists actually draw beforehand. They turn the reference into a stencil and tattoo from the reference. For anything stylised (new school, tribals, traditional, japanese and many more) styles I guess it depends on the artist? Some traditional artists might be able to draw up a design on the spot because they've done it so often and don't need reference. Sometimes they might use it for inspiration and come up with their own design and sometimes they'll collage together a bunch of images and then use that as reference... It's hard and the lines are very blurry(not the talk lines of course ;) ) between copying/lack of originality and just normal tattoo artistry.

@lunarlight2585 6 жыл бұрын

Just thought about what you were saying here , if you ever want to come up with an app how great would a randomiser be with lists of things like cat dog rose etc and styles like water colour, new school, black and grey, abstract. Because I’ve always found it hard to come up with things myself if someone tells me what to draw it’s a way easier starting point 🤩

Christine Bekoyan keep drawing and doing art. Are there recurring themes and styles? Try to work on those a lot to perfect those (like maybe you're great at drawing stylised faces, work on it and develop a style) but also work on things you don't like hugely or that you're bad at. Do a lot of different things. Perfect what you like and still work on other things. You can't really give a definite answer to what is better - your own style or knowing everything quite well. If you wan my to be known for one style so people go to ypu specifically for that, do that. If you aim for "normal" shop activities you have to have a large variety for walk in customers.
