I am an artist, working in Syracuse NY. While I am primarily a tattoo artist, this channel is for all of my artwork and side projects, to include my original cartoon "Electric Acorn."
Cardinal
This was for an assignment for my Art History class. I had to take a piece of existing artwork and recreate it. I chose a lithographic print of a cardinal from 1888. I imported the original artwork as a thumbnail to reference as I worked, ensuring the original colors were incorporated. Sorry about the pixelation in parts, but that's what happens when you export video from procreate.

Great video
How to reappulster the face hole?
Hey where can i get the tattoo brushes and pencile you use to overdraw your scatch.
5:19 great tip about the Medical Corners
Do you use procreate? How are you coloring this??
Procreate all day every day.
How many layers would you complete for something like this? :) I find it difficult to do this shading if there's only one layer of lines. I might just be doing it wrong
Layers make everything so much easier. I like to keep everything separate until procreate tells me I’ve reached my layer limit, which with 11x17” at 300 dpi is 27. This artwork is simplified from my normal fusion style, but I still had several layers going on. As far as linework goes, I try to keep a duplicate of my lines hidden, just in case I need them. Also, when working with multiple objects, it’s nice to do all the linework separately, so you can move things around. Instead of skewing the artwork to fit a skateboard deck, you could just move objects to better fit the area, and then redo some shadows, and boom, another medium you can potentially sell. I hope that answers you question, I know I answered it a little weird.
Just came across this video, I hear you say from what you followed the previous week, is there a link to a video before this please? Would really like to try this ☺️
How long did this take?
He said about 2 hrs
Guess what I have self Procrate too
What about the removable face hole and carrying handles?
What brush are you using
Valeeeu!!🤜🤛
Do you have any brush recommendations? There are so many out there to buy but I just got procreate so I’m using all the default ones. For line work, they’re sufficient but the shading (especially more for stippling and other similar shading techniques)
So, I would stick with the airbrushes for shading initially. Once you’re used to it, then look around for what you might want based on your style. There’s an overwhelming amount of products out there, priced obnoxiously high, that you won’t use. I personally use 4 brushes from the Dave Tevenal: Battle Damage set from the tattoo smart website. That’s pretty much all I use for my current projects, but, if I need quick textures, there are some good ones built into procreate, like Blackwood, rusted decay and grunge.
This was a fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to write a comment. I’ve got a secret project I’ve been working on. I’m not sure when I’ll get back to making UA-cam videos, but when I do, I’ll definitely make more of these art tutorials.
The closest tattoo shop near me the artist told me just to come back on Saturday walk ins. they do them every Saturday. Some I assume would be hard I always feel like I'm being rude asking for the art.
Dude your tutorials are awesome. Please make some more neo and nu school designs. I really like how you do the same one to show the difference. Great stuff.
Thank you. I don’t know if I’ll be doing any more videos for a while. If I do get back into it, I’ll definitely do more triple drawing style videos.
Love this! Big help to me
Love this! Big help to me
how much vinyl did you use?
2 yards
Would it be ok if I bring a picture of my own design and have them recreate it?
Of course. A visual representation may be a better way, since trying to put a description into words may not always work out. I had a client that defined everything with the word “edgy.” When I asked him to describe what that meant, he used the word edgy to describe the word edgy. Oh how I wish he had brought in a picture.
@@THETATTOOROBOT thank you so much!
Nice video dude I liked the splash of color theory you gave us nicely done 🤘🏾
Love her!!! She's boo-tiful!
Beautiful work, looks amazing!
Your badass
What's on your hat dude? Looks like an ODST drop pod from halo but I could be wrong.
“Feet first into hell.” You are correct. I have a few halo items around the house.
Man mine always look like cabbage 😩
So do my peonies.
I would love to see this tutorial in more depth. It’s amazing but hard to follow as a beginner 😅 Amazing work. So talented x
Do you see more advantages to using drawing apps or do you think it takes away from people learning how to draw on paper. Just wondering because tattoo artist these days I see don’t know how to draw rather they know how to use photoshop apps and other types of apps to creat designs rather than draw them. I just want to pick your brain a bit.
I think everyone does learn on paper, in some capacity. I think digital media makes things easier, cleaner, with less waste and less bulk. I used to carry an 11x14” multimedia sketchbook, a light table (to transfer from sketch to final line work), a small tackle box of prisma pencils and another of copiic markers. Now I carry just the iPad. There’s more risk of course, if I ride my motorcycle to work, my bag goes in the car with my wife (we work together). I find that I have problems with distractions as well. The iPad has so many functions, so rather than working on drawings, I sometimes just pick up the Xbox controller instead and play remotely, or watch UA-cam. There’s pros and cons to just about any medium, but digital can make an artist lazy. One of the rules that was ever present during my apprenticeship, was do not trace other artwork, especially other tattoos (realism doesn’t count). Art theft is now easier than ever and nobody seems to be concerned. We’re given this tool to make artwork and of course people are going to use it incorrectly. It’s kind of funny how used to procreate I am. I’m currently working on a mural, and I’ve caught myself, multiple times, two-finger clicking the work surface to try to undo a mistake in my line work. I still sketch in a book sometimes, especially in the woods, camping or hiking. One thing I do not miss about physical media is pencil shavings. The mess, the smell, yuck. I know this reply was all over the place, but I hope I answered your question the way you were asking.
Hey man thank you for these videos 🙏🏾
No problem. Any other series of drawings you’d like to see in the 3 styles?
@@THETATTOOROBOT a new school snake would be cool
@@ninethreetilinfinity9725 you got it. I’ll add it to the list.
Love these videos thank you! They're super informative, had a question I guess it's more of a procreate question more than anything but at 7:05 you're doing something to edit your line almost like a pen tool in illustrator, (the three blue small circles or anchors) was curious of how you're doing this?? Again thanks for taking the time to make these!
You’re not familiar with the line tool? Oh man, you’ve been missing out. All you do is draw your line and hold at the end of it. Procreate will automatically straighten it out, give you a curve or turn it into a shape. Sometimes the program gets confused, so if doing a shallow curve, exaggerate it and then adjust using the dots afterwards. Any other questions, just ask. I will be doing a procreate guide once I’m back doing videos again, so the more questions I can answer, the better.
i’m going today, what if it’s just numbers in a certain font ?
Letters and numbers don’t matter much, so long as it will remain legible in years to come. Just remember that a shop minimum is the lowest they can go. At my shop, the minimum is $100, if the design the client brings to one of our artists is only going to take 10 minutes, I’ll suggest maybe doubling up and doing another small tattoo at the same time.
im having my sister design my tattoo? will these be ok? or is that a no no like tracing over someone elses tattoo
It all depends on the artwork. A lot of times the tattoo artist will have to modify a drawing to make it a successful tattoo design. So if your sister’s feelings might get hurt because it’s not the way she designed it, then I personally wouldn’t do it. But, it’s not a bad idea either. Just make sure you research the tattoo artist first, to make sure their style of artwork is similar.
Hello, awesome video. I have a question for you or anyone in the comments that might be able to help. I'm really interested in learning the neo traditional art style (not wanting to tattoo tho). But have no idea where to start. I've already done so much googling and so far have come up with nothing. I find tutorials etc on how to draw specific things but I obviously want to create my own art and not just copy other peoples. Would appreciate any advice or tips!
Neo-traditional is kind of a blanket description. There are so many different approaches, and I can’t really say “this is how you learn to do it.” When I used to see things I liked, I would try to reverse engineer how they were done. So, my best advice is to find 2 or 3 artists you like. And draw things the way you think they would draw them. Don’t copy line for line, that’s a big no-no. Doing this will get your brain thinking a little differently and your own style will develop. I can give pointers here and there if you upload your artwork somewhere and shoot me a link. I won’t be able to do it often, because my schedule is a bit obnoxious. But, I will help when I can.
@@THETATTOOROBOT thankyou so much for replying!. Yes it's hard when it's such a broad term. Everytime I look into it. All I get is the basic description of what neo traditional is haha. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.
Hey robot. How'd you do the orange gradient so smooth on the skull? Thanks for sharing, bro!
I just sized my brush up as high as it would go, and built up my color with light pressure. And thanks for watching.
Great video man!!!
Glad you liked it!
Living for the Grogu tattoos !! These are so sweet!!
Great work
Very good
Thank you.
Awesome video, I love the level of detail in your descriptions. Subbed.
Excellent. Thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate that. I actually just did a neotradional skull companion video for this one, it will be up at 4pm today.
Thats my favorite video so far.
Your art is so amazing!!😍 🔥
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. The next 2 in this series should be even better.
This is hilarious! Sat in the truck in the driveway laughing to myself.
But it's for mmeeee 😂
Looking good. I've stopped smoothing shit out so it doesnt look like photoshop piece. Spitshading Toolkit and canvas/paper texture helps a lot.
I was able finally to draw a desent rose. I like the way you brake it down. Cool. You yould make more videos.
Thank you. I would love to see the rose(s) you've drawn. I will be doing more drawing videos very soon. Next I'll be tackling traditional, neo-traditional and nu skool skulls. I will then incorporate the roses from this series of videos.
