    I don't know why people get on you for using markers. So what its easier. The difficulty of the work doesn't change the fact that it looks nice. As well, sense when does difficulty mean better? Its not cheating its efficient.

    You should do a traditional Cat flash. Panther, lion tiger, and kitten!

  • @GDGTV

    They are the best I have used for line quality and they don't pop and crack (leaving tiny spatters of ink) when you're pressing hard on them like some others do. I haven't used every type of pen so I can't compare them to everything they are just the best I have found so far

    Hey Gram! Just came across your tube channel. Your a huge inspiration my man. I have started sketching and using your videos as reference. I would like to see some sailor style stuff like anchors and ships and in that relm. I started a few months ago tracing art from old record albums and pics from google, but now i am just looking at pictures and making them my own freehand style. just purchased some copic pens and a zig Millenium I will show you some pics when they are done.
    Thanks bud! keep 'em coming.

    Ah good stuff...well any advice you need just let me know! Also another thing you might not know is power supplies like eikons have a setting where you don't need to use the footswitch so that wouldn't be a problem for you if you got one of them

    Water colors do not become diluted after they dry, once dry they are permanent. Watercolors are harder to use, but generally cheaper in the long run and you can achieve a bit more.

    What makes Zig Millenniums so great? Would you say they're the same as any other fine line pen? Like for example Microns? If you could answer this, that would be top!

  • @GDGTV
    @GDGTV  11 років тому

    Yeah just let it dry for about a minute first and I use a artgum eraser. They are really soft and less abrasive to the paper and ink so work really well

    Can you make a video (or do you have a video) where you explain the dimensions of the drawings that are acceptable for a tattoo design? I mean like how smal can a tattoo be w/out becoming just a stain in a few years? Thank you so much for sharing so much!!! Very helpful! :)

    I have recently subscribed to you channel and I LOVE IT! haha I'm in the Navy and traditional style tattoos are kinda of history with sailors. We have a lot of free time sometimes so I have been trying to teach myself how to draw traditional art, mainly because I haven been wanting to be a tattoo artist for awhile now and you're helping me out so much! although I do not have the proper paper and copic markers to work with! but thanks!

    • @GDGTV
      @GDGTV  10 років тому

  • @GDGTV

    I can't really recommend anything as I only ever use copics but I don't think there's anything really cheap that would be any good realistically. If you want to make good quality flash you gotta spend the money on the right supplies really

    Watercolours aren't hard (for this) at all IMO
    Learning curve i would say is from 1 day to 1 week for this type of work, simple shading and colours. Plus having good brushwork and being comfortable with different mediums i think is a huge plus for your overall artistry

    • @Ozterkvlt
      @Ozterkvlt 10 років тому

      just use some spit shading, it's pretty foolproof i think

    Hi GrahameGDG!
    I saw almost all your videos and I love it!
    I'm trying to start practicing my drawing, but don't know where to start. Should I start reproducing simple and old school designs or tracing tattoos that I love and color it or should I go right to tracing photos and making my own compositons and practicing everyting at the same time?
    Whats your advice?
    Thanks ;)

    • @TheChairmanZero
      @TheChairmanZero 5 років тому

      He explains what he's doing, he is essentially stacking colours, however with fresh ink they will naturally bleed together to an extent so the blending will come natural.

  • @chappyhaley

    Are the greys you use copic ciao as well?
    I'm from Australia and they're super hard to find. Even the blender, I can only get the (slightly fatter) copic sketch, unless it's in the colours.
    Your chanel is super helpful. It's not often I get to pick an artists brain on the best designing tools (whenever a friend's getting a tatt done and I go as "support" :P)
    and then I stumbled across your channel.
    Artists would tell me "if your art is shit hot you'll get in"
    but I couldn't find what style portfolio you would need to be considered "shit hot" :P
    and the process of line work. Massive help. Legend.
