In this video I go through a painting on 140lb Arches Cold Press Paper from the block. Outlined with a B5 Speedball Nib, Higgins Black Magic ink, Windsor Newton watercolor
Hand drawn and painted flash has so much more value. Especially for artists that are not yet well established. I feel like it creates security for the client that oh my artist can actually make shit.
Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and lessons learned. I found your videos a week ago and am very stoked to see some new content. Very inspirational stuff.
Dude fill a cheap felt tip pen with with some Talons indian ink!! like the cheapest dolar store type kids felt tip pens, much better than a calligraphy nib.
Cool man. Please ramp up the content dude I know your busy but really love your vidz also if your ever over in Scotland gimme a shout as I'd love some of that flash done. All the best.@@100tattoo
Great video. Thanks..fwiw You should try leaving your work sit for at least 24-48 hrs. And then cut it off the block..That will eliminate almost All of that buckling.
Thanks for the tip. I use a light table to transfer the designs but I’ve been thinking about doing it another way or drawing it direct so I can leave it on the block 👍
Question... Is there a way to do this without putting the brush in your mouth during the shading? I just feel like i cant put myself past that part lol😂
For me it’s just a habit. It’s how I hold the brush 🤣 you can set the shading brush off to the side, or my co worker tapes each brush together making it double sided. Just use water to shade on your clean brush, use a paper towel or something to get the correct amount of water on the brush you need.
Dr martins is dye, it will fade over time. Watercolor is pigment and more light fast from what I’ve heard from older tattoo artists. Dr Martins does fade stupid easy though. Fun to use.
Which colors do you like to use for traditional art? I picked up some of these to see how it works out for me, I like the idea of using them over the dr martens.
