If we tally all the time spent painting Larry the Ogor over the years does he qualify as a golden demon entry?

@bodotrenaud7441 Жыл бұрын

This is going full circle, Larry getting a new set of tattoos ! Could you do a silk tutorial ? Like those amazing purple pants of the US golden demon winner ?

Not letting the ink fully dry could be a good effect for older, faded tattoos. 👍👍👍

Oh man, what a useful video. When you said it was quite easy to do tattoos, I was a bit sceptical, but just as you said, it's very straightforward. Slow and steady, thin paint/ink and a good point on your brush. Thanks Vince, this was such a great video.

This is...a really helpful tutorial I didn't realize I needed, lol. I've been practicing my skin painting and gotten a bit better but adding simple shape tattoos? That could add some fun visual interest! And I think it'd work very well with my contrast heav y style. Cause I think you could do the tattoo first, be able to clean up any mistakes with the prime coat colors, and then apply the contrast on top, no? Cause unless the tattoo color is lighter, the contrast should just filter on top of the tattoo and make it look worn. ...right? Or is my logic flaws here?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

No, it would work, as long as the contrast is the weaker sin ones (and not say the intense purple or something).

@GoldenRogueMinis Жыл бұрын

Are you glazing the skins midtown or it’s highlight over the tattoo?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

I'm using something just slightly above the mid-tone, or the mid-tone itself, it will be bright enough to "fade" the tattoo.

@ierlic Жыл бұрын

Vince, I watch your videos all the time and it’s really helped me become a better painter (I have a huge set of stored videos of yours that I reference from time to time). However no matter how well I clean my brushes or be careful not to get paint into the ferrule the tips always seem to curl after a few weeks/months of use. Is this normal? I suspect there’s some step in my brush care I’m missing. I’m using brush soap but I suspect I’m not doing it correctly. Do you have any advice (or a link to an older video where you covered this)?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

If it's a synthetic brush, there is no way to avoid it. If it's a sable brush, that shouldn't be happening.

@PartnersofMachino Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this tutorial Mr. Venturella. Two questions. 1) What size brush were you using here? 2) Were you using any other skin tones to get the flesh colour you achieved? I'd like to do this with an ogre soon!

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

It's a Monument sable brush, size 0. THe actual skin tone was built from many colors (I cover it in a previous video), but when I'm glazing over the tattoos it's just the mid-tone or highlight tone.

Could you do something similar with transfers if you wanted a "professional" tattoo look?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

Sure, you could even paint over them. :)

@JadeCatMinis Жыл бұрын

I've been wanting to try tattoos. But I should probably start with learning to paint skin. Currently I use contrast colors for skin. Would this tutorial work similar with contrast color?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

Sure, you could do this over contrast color skin no issue, I wouldn't try this with contrast paint specifically.

@bingobassen Жыл бұрын

Hey Vince. Would you highlight warpaint on raised areas i.e. shoulders or upper back?

@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, warpaint is slightly different, because it's sitting fully on top of the skin and needs to be rougher. But still really needs those highlights.

Same principles, you want to aim for contrast, but a mix of paint and ink to keep it flowing, and then building up from those simple shapes and swoops will get you there.

Reminding me of my intro to draw on glass in college The professor told me don't try to draw a giant robot a person a tank a dog a cat or anything like that You're never going to be able to do that just remember it's not that it's just lines on a piece of paper and what you realize it's just lines on a piece of paper you will accomplish what you want to do. From the same art class the professor told me never compare yourself to other artists cuz there's always somebody better and when you've created the perfect piece put the pencil down and never draw again cuz you've just done something that no one else can ever do. What does that mean in painting You're always going to be unhappy with your work You're always going to find something you don't like about it cuz you painted it so don't compare yourself to it give it to someone else and have them look at it you'd be surprised
