If I’m not mistaken, in Japanese mythology the koi is actually represented fighting against the current to transform in a dragon. It symbolizes perseverance and determination. Can someone confirm? Anyway, sick sketch ❤️‍🔥

@xandernussy4114 3 жыл бұрын

Youre correct… One of the most famous eastern folktales involving Koi is of the fish swimming upstream towards dragon’s gate, once it passes through it, it transforms into a dragon.

It's not a Japanese story. But yeah the dragon part and all is right

@keithnourse6829 2 жыл бұрын

Yes the koi swim up the white river if I'm not mistaken and those that are strong enough to make it to the top turn into dragons the dragon headed koi fish not exactly sure what it's called a koi dragon it's like a koi fish with a dragon's head symbolizes the transformation.

Fish scales can seem like a nightmare sometimes. This helped a lot to see them as more of a criss cross pattern than circles. Thanks

Finally a tutorial with actual drawing! I just went thru several that were all just pasting already made art together from online and using procreate to edit them together. I use references but there is something about drawing and making your own ideas that just seem more valuable.

In 2009 when I went to Taku in Hollywood ( who trained for a short time under Chris) wouldn’t let me get the koi going down for my half sleeve because he said it was bad luck. Seeing Chris do it here and almost recommend it in a sense, makes me wish I got what I really wanted. Still an amazing piece though :)

Man, I'm conflicted. I love Chris Garver's work, him and Mike Rubendall are the entire reason I fell in love with Japanese tattoos. I never would have expected him to break the rules of Japanese tattooing like this. The entire lore and meaning behind Koi tattoos is dependent on them swimming UP stream to become dragons. I'm not talking shit, and the art is beautiful, I'm just shook that 45 sec in, my life as a tattooer (doing as much Japanese work as possible) feels like a lie. I definitely wouldn't argue with Chris on what is or isn't acceptable in Japanese tattooing, He's probably won more awards with Japanese tattoos than I'll ever do, I'm just surprised.

@tobimiley 3 жыл бұрын

Regarding the whole up or down swimming koi, it also means that swimming up is fighting to succeed in life, trying to make your way. Swimming down means you've done your thing and, now, you're heading to retirement, to your (final) rest, to peace. I've always thought that a koi swimming up on the back of one thigh, turning to a dragon on the back, and then a koi swimming down the back of the opposite thigh would be a cool design.

The “splotch” on the head of the koi is a certain breed of koi. Color and pattern wise you want balance on your fish from side to side as far as a koi judge would go

I am sorry if this has been asked before. What are the pens that you use? They seem to dry pretty quick and give consistently good line work. I am also a left handed artist and I smudge the shit out of some of my work by not having the ink dry before hitting certain areas. I have resorted to wearing those 2 finger gloves when I draw now haha. Thanks for the great videos also!!!
